What the Ministry of Truth in Orwell's mythical land of Oceania did to the language in "1984"--"Newspeak"-- the far right & left in American politics have tried, with considerable success, to do in 21st century America with the consent, and in some cases, assistance of the news media, as it would seem from the article on the CONNECTICUT POST'S front page of 1/6/09. "(Bridgeport, CT. Mayor)Finch Pleads For Help."
"Finch and other leaders said "there are many creative ways to enchance local revenues." Newspeak for "Let's sock it to the public."

Victory: Giants
by Ms. Emily Dobyan
The dominant blue and white
Overpower the jerseys
The numbers placed on the back
decipher which player is in the game
Number 10 is the quarterback
Blood and sweat drip off of their face
onto their knee pads
And becoming embedded in the field
The pain throughout each player’s body
Is smothering them slowly
Their bodies start to break down
But they push themselves to the fullest
Making every second count
The crowd chants, “G-Men”
Time runs out
Walking into the stadium
Each player looks back at the scoreboard
Satisfied of what they have become
Victorious
