President References Decades Except Unies

Beijing, China - President Bush mentions the Fifties, Sixties, Seventies and the Nineties during an interview with Bob Costas on NBC's coverage of the Olympic Games Sunday night. However, he was hesitant to mention a term for this decade, the Unies, the years between 2000 and 2009.

In a hilarious interview, George W. Bush got sentimental when explaining how different China was when he rode a bike back in '75. When asked about the integrity of baseball due to steroids, the President said, "One of the great things about baseball, is that we can compare the records of the players to the Fifties, Sixties, and to the Seventies and obviously to the Nineteen-Ninties." Too bad his vocabulary wasn't more refined than it is. He could have benefitted from a word like the Unies.

This is the 2008 Beijing Olympics, what a perfect backdrop to promote the new term for this decade. The Olympics do represent a unified world in which most countries are represented. Each country trying to represent its people and culture. Yet, we still have no useful term to represent this decade.

With only a year left before this becomes more important, we have yet to decide on an acceptable term to name this decade. Will the real name, "Please stand up!"
