Bump Watch

Dedicated readers of this blog might have recently noted that I tagged my entry about political firecracker Andy Borowitz as being under "bump watch." Dedicated and also eagle-eyed readers might also have noted that my most recent post was actually sarcastic, in that I do not find Andy Borowitz's satire in Newsweek funny at all! This might come as quite a shock. This is also quite serious.

He is officially on Bump Watch and until further notice that is where he shall stay.

Bump Watch is a term used in post modern society when it is suspected that a woman is, or soon shall be, pregnant. As feminist have now taken back the night, I will take back this phrase from its unfortunate association with the unpleasantness of childbirth and rearing, and reclaim it against those that cross a line between acceptable and unacceptable as I deem from a completely arbitrary and seemingly contradictory viewpoint.
