IN AND OUT

A staple of lazy magazine editors this time of year, especially with a new administration, are those ‘What’s Hot, What’s Not’ lists detailing the feel of the new era. Most of the time, these eras are fictions. But this year, things genuinely do feel a little different. With that in mind, I offer a brief, lazy list of ins and outs and invite y’all to submit other suggestions. What’s out is the first item, what’s in is the second:

Big Government / Big Hair
Tony Blair / Vicente Fox
CNN / Fox News
Bisexuals / Bifocals
Ellen Degeneres / Mary Cheney
Algore / Alcoa
Bimbo Eruptions / Missile Defense
Fat, ugly, gay guys in ‘Survivor’ / Hot, slim, straight chicks on ‘Survivor’
I Feel Your Pain / Se Habla Espanol
Salon.com / OpinionJournal.com
Ranch Dressing / Ranches
Distinguishing Characteristics / Distinguished Guests
Hitch / Hatch
Big Creep / Big Sleep
New York City / New York City.
