Anti-Semetic crackpots have a cute little name for the U.S. government--ZOG! The Zionist Occupation Government.
I don't use the term because it implies that Israeli Jews are the problem in America. Of course, Jews don't have a monopoly on tyranny. Still, I've got to admire the crackpots' ingenuity for insulting their adversaries. It's a great way to vent your aggressions.
ZOG is an okay name for the Israeli gov. For the Arab/Palestinian govs, I use Suicidal Homicidal Islamic Terrorists.* That makes a rather appropriate acronym.
So what are your affectionate names for the U.S. gov? I've been toying around with Fascist American Government, but the acronym for that one isn't very polite. Same with Socialist Obstructionist Bureaucrats. So, for now, I've settled on Fascist Really Obnoxious Government.
Please contribute!
*For the record, I have nothing against Jews,or Arabs, but their governments really suck.

Mongols. (no offence meant to people of Mongolia)
Chomsky used the term Mandarins for the state and corporate aparachniks but I think that Mongols, after the Mongol horde that invaded the world in the 13th century , is more fitting than Mandarin as the Mongols were not just from Mongolia but really a multinational "movement" of plunderers who themselves never produced but just took.
Each Mongol group adapted to its "host" country and became the state (like the Mughals of India) and eventually they ceased as a unified movement but would still use their power to plunder their local populations, occasionally fight with other former Mongols or unite in alliance with other plunderers.

I used to think "anti-Semite" was just a neocon smear term for anyone critical of the Israeli state.
Unfortunately, I was wrong. Many of the people who oppose Israel are, in fact, anti-Semites (and vicious anti-Semites at that).
