Morning Newsdome: Double-plus-good newsdome November 17 2009

>> The Oxford New American Dictionary announced the 2009 "Word of the Year" is the Facebook term "unfriend." Oxford's senior lexicographer said the word had "real lex appeal" and is unusual since most other "un" words are adjectives, not verbs. Sounds double-plus-good to me. (PC World)

>> Mayor-elect Jennifer Scott Sudderth for Hartwell, Ga., was charged with drunk driving in Greenville, S.C., though she says she "was merely tired." I can relate. All the hustle-and-bustle of Hartwell, Ga., can really do that to you. (Greenville Online)

>> From Arnold to Ronald, entertainment stars have made memorable politicians, and we may have a new one in our ranks: Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz told TMZ that he thinks beauty queen Carrie Prejean would make a strong politician. She won't even need to raise campaign money--she can just distribute her eight sex tapes. (TMZ)

>> I love kebabs, don't you? Who doesn't love those meaty, saucy chunks? Apparently three Russian homeless men do too after they ate a 25-year-old man's corpse and sold other bits to a local kebab house. A Russian delicacy, kind of like caviar. (Reuters)

>> And finally, while in Rome, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi recruited 200 women who were "well-dressed but not in mini-skirts" and tried to convert them to Islam. The women, who thought they were going to a VIP party, were each given a copy of the Koran and told at one point that Jesus wasn't crucified but merely "someone who looked like him" was. I think those 200 women left a little more thankful to live in Italy. (Reuters)
