Bingo!

Those of us at home in the back row of law school classes occasionally played "A**h*l* Bingo." Using a 5 X 5 matrix, we'd fill each square -- the center box was "free" -- with a classmate's name, in any arrangement. We favored front-row "helium hands," because squares were captured when the named student voluntarily answered a prof's question. The object was to capture five squares in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The winner then shouted (or whispered, depending on the teacher) "Bingo." Much hilarity -- and embarrassment -- ensued. Which was the point.

Pat Sanity's a doctor, not a lawyer, but she's invented Blog B*llsh*t Bingo, an analogous concept substituting common, but content-less, liberal slogans for people. She's drafted a Blog Bingo card, with instructions: "check off each block when you see these words while reading a blog, news article or op-ed piece. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout 'B*LL SH*T!'"
