Current Events article "[|Giffords tragedy could be a defining moment for Palin]" by Holly Bailey. Ex: The incendiary would stop at nothing to annoy those who got in her way.

[|Fetishism]: (noun); a belief in magical fetishes, or extravagant irrational devotion. I found this word in the New York Times article [|"Down the Hatch and Straight Into Medical History"], which is about a doctor's obsession with collecting objects he finds when retrieving them when they had been swallowed or inhaled. I chose this word because I thought the article was really funny, and it was used in a context I would not have expected. An example of how to use it in a sentence is: Many people know that I have an unusual fetishism with the Harry Potter series, as I often bring it up in class.
