Seeing a reference to a new Washington Post blog called whorunsgov.com, I initially read it as whoresongov.com. So I googled "shakespeare whoreson" to double-check where I'd seen this word before, and I came to this in King Lear: "Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter!" Sounds like something that should go in the colophon of the Corflu Zed program book.

I love it! Do we have a title for the program book yet? I think we do now.

Hm, like what? Thou Whoreson Zed! Thou Unnecessary Corflu!? I'm not so sure.

Right, then. I shall, as the saying goes, fling my toys out the pram.

No, not really.

On the other hand, Thou Unnecessary Letter might work as a title.
