How about Cuckoobloggers? Aside from the obvious pun, one could consider the lifestyle of Cuculus canorus. It's a brood parasite, which means that it does not rear its own young. The Cuckoo instead lays its egg in the nest of another species, where it usually hatches before the host eggs. Once the cuckoo has hatched, it will eject the other eggs or young so that it will receive all the food brought by its unaware foster parents.

There's also Molothrus ater, but "Brown-headed CowbirdBloggers" doesn't really have the same ring.

Unless we ask how they got to be "brown-headed", of course. You know, like "brown-nosing", only more impacted, if you get my drift . . . .

You could capitalize on both the inherent pun and the reference to not-so-intelligent domesticated birds in "fowlbloggers."

"Duckbloggers" gets my vote. After all, it's what they'd do if we actually we to war. "Oh no, those lovely Iraqis are -- gasp -- shooting at us! Quick, everyone duck before we get hurt!"

How about "borebloggers"?

I wonder if Mac would complain if we called them snakeheadbloggers? Are they not an ugly, exotic species that we dread to find in our local chautauqual waters? They do tend to take the life out of any intelligent discussion they enter. And, of course, the illusion to James Carville is precious.

Another proposal, not so witty, is skunkbloggers. My limited experience with them is that they leave a stench that last for days.

The extra credit question sounds recent. Was it Bush or Rumsfeld?

No, a fictional character on a popular television series (not The Simpsons).

I suggest "Trollbloggers," in light of the old Usenet term "troll," meaning, a twit who makes provocative and/or stupid posts just to try to piss people off. Fighting one is pointless because their only objective is to get you to fight with them. They're "trolling" for angry responses.

There is also an old apellation from my GEnie days, "Energy Creature." An Energy Creature is a person who posts messages that are stupidly provocative, who will say almost anything with the sole intention of arousing anger, sadness, or other forms of pain. It is inspired by the old Star Trek (original series) episode where an "energy creature" trapped a bunch of Klingons and Federation crewman on the Enterprise, took all their advanced weapons away, and prodded them into constantly fighting in hand-to-hand combat. The Energy Creature then fed off their anger and rage and pain. They only defeated it by laughing at it and ignoring it.

"DNFTC" was the warning people used to remind themselves of this type of creature: Do Not Feed The Energy Creature. Spreading this meme would likely do a great deal of good to silencing these people, and simply calling them "Energy Creatures" would help do that.

I like "Boreblogger" and might also suggest "Whorebloggers," but, alas, it might be turned back at you, especially given the "Media Whores Online" people. "Boreblogger Botchers" or just "BoreBotchers" might work.

If it must be biological, "spore" might be okay.

SporeBotchers?

I dunno man. I say, Do Not Feed The Energy Creature (DNFTC).

How about LeftChikenWingBloggers?

How about [corrected] LeftChickenWingBloggers?

How about Ostrichbloggers? Given that their attitude seems to be, "Hey, let's try to ignore reality and maybe it will go away and stop hurting us! If we pretend everything is nice, it will be."

The extra credit answer must be the West Wing POTUS played by Martin Sheen. I have no way of knowing since I never watch the show, but it sounds like some self-important (and untrue) thing Aaron Sorkin would have him say.

Sorry, no: it was a character known only as "the fat Ferengi" on Star Trek: Next Generation. After Cmdr. Riker roughed him up, he became much more cooperative.

Don't Feed the Energy Creature by giving it a name.

I have a question: Is Sgt. Stryker a chickenblogger? What about Andrew Olmstead, who's an Army officer, or Rottweiler, who's a veteran? Or Bruce Rolston, who's a Canadian officer? How about those of us who Uncle Sam doesn't want?

If the U.S. military needed untrained 50-year-old women, I'd be honored to help liberate Iraq. I could fight to the death in that ditch with Bill Clinton. Well, no. I'd demand my own ditch.

Can we call them "dumbasses"?

After all, an ass is an animal . . .

Then again, perhaps the asses would take offense at being compared to the morons who run WBW.

I like calling them either dumbasses or ostritchbloggers. Dumbasses, because, well, they are dumbasses. Ostritchbloggers, because they obviously have their heads in the sand, and/or other places where the sun doesn't shine.

Riyadh delenda est!

Right, the fat Ferengi. Alas, what he actually said is a bit different. Here's a link:

I'd have to vote with Dean for accuracy in definition on this one. Although "ostrichbloggers" is apt too, and "dumbasses" gets the job done nicely as well.

What's wrong with the name Navin Johnson (as played by Steve Martin) gave his dog?

How about squirrelbloggers...squirrels spend all their useless time gathering "nuts", they're annoying as hell...and they only look good when smeared as butter across asphalt...

I used the term "heckle-blogger" in a recent altercation with somebody from WBW ... but I prefer to rely on whatever poetic description springs to mind at the time. His response was unrepeatable, and colorful only in the sense that vomit is colorful. How about "Chunder-blogger"?

Shrewblogger.

We're overlooking the obvious:

They are not some new exotic species, they are merely the same old, boring, ineffectual surrender monkeys, albeit now with a group blog.

Heck, some of them may even be cheese-eating, for all I know....
