 Omnibus
Omnibus was the most successful cultural magazine series in the history of U.S. commercial television and a prototype for the development of programming on educational television.
Developed by the Television-Radio Workshop of the Ford Foundation, Omnibus generated both corporate sponsorship and a loyal, but limited, network audience for intellectual programming over nine years (1952 to 1961) on all three networks.
During the final season Omnibus appeared as a series of irregular specials, concluding with a look at the future of the western hemisphere.

 Articles: A Word for All
This turned up first in the British Parliament, where omnibus bills were measures that contained a lot of miscellaneous proposals; as one German commentator wrote in 1857, they were “bills which contain laws dissimilar in their character and purposes”.
There were other phrases, too, indicating that the British really took this strange new word to their hearts: omnibus box was adopted for a theatre box for the use of a number of subscribers, and an omnibus train stopped at all the stations along its route.
But later on the word was applied to the new technology of electricity, in which the term omnibus bar was given to a conductor, a copper rod or bar, that carried the whole of the power output from a source, for all purposes.

 Criminal Tax Manual 17.00 -- 26 U.S.C. § 7212(a) "OMNIBUS CLAUSE"
The omnibus clause of §7212(a) "conspicuously omits the requirement that conduct be directed at 'an officer or employee of the United States Government.'" Dykstra, 991 F.2d at 452 (quoting Popkin, 943 F.2d at 1539).
Although it is necessary in most omnibus clause cases to prove that a defendant attempted to impede or obstruct the administration of the internal revenue laws, [FN4] there is no requirement that a defendant's actions have an adverse affect on the government's investigation.
In Mitchell, the court held that the omnibus clause prohibits attempts to violate the due administration of the internal revenue laws and should be read broadly to include behavior like the defendant's that was not directed at IRS officials.

 Tarkio: Omnibus: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Omnibus, Tarkio's two-disk catch-all wrap-up from Kill Rock Stars (now the Decemberists' former home), is full of the kind of well-meaning, basically bland acoustic rock that all college towns seem to produce in bulk.
But this is definitely Meloy in his formative years, before all the sea shanties and chimbley sweeps and military homoeroticism, when he was just getting control of his humor and intelligence.
The 27 songs on Omnibus are uniformly overlong, most approaching or surpassing the five-minute mark when barely a handful have cause to exceed three minutes.

omnibus is a noun, or, to be precise, an adjective used as a noun, but it is already plural and in the dative case.
omnibus is the dative plural of omnis "all" and means "for all".

 The Omnibus Appropriations Bill: Are Appropriations for Domestic Programs Exploding?, Rev. 2/1/04
This analysis examines the rate of growth in appropriated (or “discretionary”) programs in fiscal year 2004, now that the omnibus bill has become law.
Although the funding to cover these appropriations comes from the transportation trust funds, these funding levels are clearly discretionary: Congress uses the annual appropriations bills to establish the funding levels for these programs each year.
Furthermore, CBO classifies the expenditure of these funds as discretionary spending, even though the appropriations that result in that spending is not counted in the discretionary funding totals.

 Cooke, Alistair
In the era before Sunday afternoon/evening football and other sports Omnibus served as a respite from the commercial chatter of the week days.

Omnibus ended in 1957, having established an image of thoughtfulness and wisdom for Cooke and earned him enormous respect.

Omnibus takes Darude's idea and manages to give it something sorely lacking in a lot of electronic music (I'd say "trance", but it has a very danceable beat) - A melodic hook.
The Omnibus is a great song and probably helps Darude with CD sales because everyone thinks its him.
But Omnibus was and still is the best Trance you'll ever hear, and I think that 5 year old German Katie Skate's vocals really have a great affect on the song as the sounds of a bus coming through and the Darude sounding keyboards play through.
