Yes, I use some strange tags, and sure, part of the intent is to be funny (this is almost always part of my intent), but there's a more practical reason, too: it more easily allows me to go back and look at what I've written on a given topic. So here are the specific tags I use to organize my writing:

• Is Robert Reich Still Locked in the Cabinet? - For posts about the cabinet, nominations, and Robert Reich and his book, should that situation ever arise.
• Congress is like MTV's The Real World only with More Crazy.  For posts about Congress.
• Can Keith Olbermann Just Adopt Me Already?  For posts about Keith Olbermann or MSNBC at large.
• Maureen Dowd Needs to Go Away.  Seriously.  Right now.
• Is Bailout One Word or Two?  Posts on the bank bailout and, if it should ever come to pass, the porn bailout.
• Beep beep.  Posts on the auto industry and its ongoing bailouts.
• All the Senators from Kansas are Crazy.  Mostly intended for Sam Brownback, but from time to time extended to include Bob Dole and Arlen Specter (born in Russell, Kansas).
• I attend the Church of the New York Times.  Posts on journalism, newspapers, and, but of course, The New York Times.
• Government for Grownups.  For the ongoing series.
• The Pottery Barn Wars.  For posts about Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Global War on Terror thing.
• 2010: Game On! For posts about the 2010 elections.
• There Are Other Countries.  Foreign affairs.
