1. I do not think there is a directory,

but tweety is Chris Matthews, Pickles is GWB's nickname for Laura, KKKarl is Karl Rove and so on.

Any others? We are always happy to help.

And welcome to DU!

3. a few others...

Moran is not spelled wrong.

* is a fairly common GW Bush reference, sort of like Roger Maris with his 61 home runs with a *.

7. About the *

A fairly recent arrival here on DU (I forget who, sadly) just pointed out that the * is very similar to the drawing Kurt Vonnegut had in "Breakfast of Champions" of an asshole. So, it's fitting on that level, too.

12. Dave (AmyStrange) made a glossary; some of it is on Demopedia

Edited on Tue Sep-27-05 05:56 PM by undisclosedlocation

I'll be back momentarily with links.

Edit: A-D are on Demopedia: http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Glossary
There's a link there to Dave's longer dictionary, but the latter appears to be down or removed. Pity; it was really great.
