The "axis of feeble" meets for dinner at the White House on Thursday.
If this isn't a neopostlapsarian event I don't know what is--Bush and Blair to have a lame duck dinner together to further discuss Bush's pre-emption doctrine? With Fukuyama calling for "neorealism" to follow "neoconservatism" we have truly lapsed into neospeak. Heads up to all you ironic t-shirt designers: Noon 20 January 09 is when Bush officially leaves office.

Now that we've lost our innocence

The word prelapsarian has been popping up everywhere lately (shades of the gravitas proliferation that happened last year or was it the year before?) So, naturally, it was only a matter of time before a way to describe the current state of the world would arrive on the scene. Welcome to the neopostlapsarian life!
