The only appropriate response would be W00t!

I do believe this gentleman needs an honorary membership to this BB!!

I saw that article myself this morning and immediately had to come here to see if anyone posted it. "W00T", being the perfect hybrid of letters & numbers is an amazing addition to the MW Dictionary. Makes me think of our Board Czar, to be sure.

W00T has a better chance of a nice shelf life than 'truthiness', but man, how could they pass up on a word like "blamestorm"?

Methinks "Blamestorm" is the name of my new industrial rock band.

It is. Apparently g33ksp33k is not Bob's first language.

I'm afraid "truthiness" will be an important part of our lexicon as long as our current administration is in power, and I'll bet well into the next few administrations too. Sigh.
