Blog-crowing

I don’t know if it’s a word, but it should be:

Blog-crow  intr.v. blog-crowed, blog-crow•ing, blog-crows 1. To exult loudly, as when a blogpost is proven right or prescient.

First George Osborne picked up on CoffeeHouse’s proposal of a tax stop. On 19th August 2008 we wrote that a tax freeze “would bridge the gap between the tax-cutting instincts of the Conservative base and the concerns of deficit hawks who worry about creating a financial black hole.” This week, the Shadow Chancellor proposed a council tax freeze.

But demonstrating that good ideas can find a home anywhere, the Prime Minister has adopted the idea we floated in July of appointing a Secretary of State for Climate Change. All we need for the hat-trick is a Department of Veteran Affairs.
