Naming the Unnameable Scandal
Thanks to the readers who sent in possible names for the racing scandal that broke on January 13 in New York. Coming up was something snappy was tough, as quite a few of you pointed out — the scandal is nothing if not multi-faceted, what with allegations of milkshaking and race-fixing, tax evasion and mob involvement. But I think most of the suggestions capture the whole pretty well.
The possibilities: Uvarigate, Mob Rocket, $200 Million Fix, Cookies-and-Milkshake Scandal, Shake and Rebate.
The winner: I’ve a weakness for puns, which makes Mob Rocket tempting, but I think I have to go with Cookies-and-Milkshake Scandal, submitted by Alan Mann. Thanks, Alan! The scandal shall henceforth by referred to by its new name, or the acronym CAMS, on this site.
