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.

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.
