At the top of every Blogger blog, there is a button labeled "next Blog". Push it sometime, and then push it again on that Blog and so on. The same twenty people? Some of them are not even blogging in English!

that even though I suffer from autophobia, I must offer an opinion which will take me out of the majority. This is, I trust, not a manifestation of neophobia, nor a sign of rhabdophobia (my trust in your civility always avails me there) nor can I be accused of levophobia. (on that score, it is more likely I suffer from dextrophobia, something I hope will become more common). And finally paralipophobia does not impel me, although I will admit to more than a soupcon of athazagoraphobia.

I admit, my liticaphobia more than a little impeeds me when I ponder the Soiux tribe and their courtroom sucess, and spring (which, although I would feign induce an outbreak of enissophobia in the song's authors, will be a little early this year, not late) always causes my mottephobia, mycophobia and potamophobia to break out, but that needn't concern us here. Above all, I want to assure readers, in spite of her being to the right of me on most subjects political, pentheraphobia has no place in my deliberations. Phronemophobia we are all heir to, to some extant, but I want to tell you, I am making an effort to overcome this Republican disability! While I freely (freely) admit that chronophobia can be the result of long comments; no one likes to think they are wasting their life, and that is one way of dealing with the possibility, I can dispose of my main point in a short paragraph, macrophobia being only the unreasonable augmentation of a normal characteristic. And I don't care what my wife says: caligynephobia is not the root of the clinophobia which keeps me up all night reading this Blog!(Just maybe, honey, it's a case of frigophobia; perhaps you confuse the normal desire to escape humiliating sexual chastisement with atelophobia. They are, my dear, not the same!)

So here goes:

Their asymmetriphobia not withstanding, (especially when you are on the small end, as they are) I don't think that a fear of math or arithmetic, nay of polls neither is what ails the pundits mentioned; why, these fears are not even common enough to be delineated or to yet receive an appellation of their own. I am much more likely to agree that dikephobia, (which is nothing to do with Roseanne Barr) gnosiophobia, or a type of katagelophobia which is exacerbated by the atmosphere at Sally Quinns coctail parties is more to blame.

But if you ask me, at bottom, when their phengophobia permits an accurate apraisal, they know it's scopophobia. Which, I might add, is closely related to the aphenphosmphobia displayed by Karl Rove in his contremps with Cheryl Crow.

Of course, if I can be proven wrong, I will change my views. I take pride in my mythophobia, it has always worked to my benefit. And when I say this, I am adamant! And when I say adamant I mean, well, you know- adamant.

I would make an even more trenchant analysis, but kenophobia prevents me, as it well might, from examining those pundits any more closely.

An e-mail from a friend showed me I was completely wrong! The fear of numbers, which could very well include a fear of mathematical or arthmetical processes, is called numerophobia.

It is not at all uncommon.

I wonder if this is going to decrease my soteriophobia ( as opposed to stereophobia, which most mental health workers agree was related to the cost of an extra speaker. Quadrophobia, on the other hand did not turn out to be a problem, probably due to the The Who)? On the other hand my doxophobia is getting worse, which may be of some comfort to other posters.

have aggravated anyone's hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, I am very sorry, but it can't be helped, considering.

Your criticism of me, I'll have you know, has brought on a severe attack of scriptophobia so acute I can no longer type. I should probably just give it up for a bad job and go to bed, but my oneirogmophobia won't permit it. On the other hand Bill Clinton sometimes gets that when he's awake!

Oh my God, I made a Clenis joke on this website. I'm gonna have the biggest damn case of enosiophobia ever! I better go before it catches up to me.

Besides, my feet hurt while I'm typing, due to my thaasophobia.

And Holly, baby, if you don't suffer from anuptaphobia, maybe we should get together. I know you educated womens like a guy like me, who's not afraid of anything!

Forget about us getting together. I just caught a case of pattyphobia so bad I think it might be fatal. And if you knew my wife, Patty, you'd feel the same! well, anyway, marriage to her sure cured my thanatophobia, so that's something to be grateful for.

She just told me if I proposition women on the internet, I'd better get over my monophobia.

Where the hell is that Brave New World they always told me about?

it's reading one of your excellent comments, DCLawl

Democrats' inability to wield language and BS like a lasso will forever ensure their defeat. you either paraphrase or quote Frank Luntz as saying.

Well, I guess we get to see whether lots of dead Americans trumps fancy rhetoric in the next election.

The Repubs have filled the heads of Americans with so much shit chowder, I don't even know if they know what is in their own interest, anymore.

The terrorism of a fanatic tribe of multisyllabists!
