calling a spade a spade

Now I admit that my survey of the news outlets is a long way from comprehensive, but so far the only outlet that I have heard refer to the Fed's bailout of AIG as an "effective nationalization" of the insurance giant is the BBC. Presumably, the Brits know nationalization when they see it.

You know, if we just had a Republican administration, we wouldn't be paying for this utterly unconstitutional socialistic nonsense.

Oh, right...

Oddly enough I was accused of racial epithets when I used the exact same phrase in your title, despite the fact that the phrase is older than the usage of the derogatory term as a racially charged word. I now prefer the more politically correct version "may I refer to a shovel as a shovel?" You do need to ask permission before making inflammatory remarks these days.
