#3 I seconded taqiyya. It's an important enough concept that it will be on the list later by necessity if not sooner.

#4 apparently you can vote more than once


I thought .com made a good point and voted for taqiyya several times

#5 "Defenestration" in the 2004 top ten? What gives? Was 2004 a year known for its defenestrations?

Is the server located in Chicago? :-)

I submitted taquiyya, too. They'll probably think it means little taco or something and throw it in the bin with rosebud. :-)

#8 probably taqiyya (or alt spellings) isn't known enough by the general population

but many more people have heard of it than at this time in 01, 02, etc.

#11 In the tradition of taqiyya, I'd like to suggest America's own version of dissimulation for 2006:

"Republican."


I'm very confused, Mr. Tyler. For what cause do you believe such lying to be justifiable?

#13 A tie, or should I say a draw, between "crumbling" and "courage".

Appeasement of Hamas. Appeasement of al-Sadr. An "ally's" refusal to identify Taliban as terrorists. Constitutionalized sharia gaining a couple seats of world power. Yet Denmark also stood firm in the Muhammad cartoons' meaty aftermath (rage-o-ramas ala Allah), America withheld funds from Hamas-beaten Palestine (so far), and Australia threw down a misogynist Muslim (am I being redundant?) for blaming women for rape. Hirsi Ali. Oriana Fallaci. The Pope. Robert Spencer, Charles Johnson, Rantburg's Fred.

What will next year's Word of the Year be? "Resolve"? "Disillusionment"?

#14 Wow, he got Troll tagged fast. Guess he'll be back before long with a new tag. It's so amusing when they try to come on here posing as 'conservatives' and 'republicans' yet spout Democrat talking points.

Jimmy Carter is realistic....that was funny.
