Down With Bunk

Today in referring to nonsense we would use words such as garbage, rubbish, crap, bull, hooey, baloney, applesauce instead of bunk as humor magazine, Life, did in 1928 when it made this announcement:
"In a private straw vote with an overwhelming majority said the only person who would be a bunkless candidate and run for Presidency on an honest, courageous and reasonably platform was Will Rogers.
"Will Rogers is being offered the nomination for the Presidency. He will represent a party with no name, no emblem, no slogan and with one dedicated purpose: to fight Bunk in all its forms.
"We can assure Will no strings are attached to his nomination. There will be no solicit of funds from financial magnates or anyone else.
"One thing is sure: if Will Rogers turns down the nomination, this new anti-bunk party will pass quietly out of existence. Will Rogers is the only candidate who could, in all honesty, run for President of the United States on a genuinely bunkless platform.
'It now remains to be seen whether or not Will Rogers will accept this nomination."
