Longtime readers know I'm no fan of politics as practiced today, and why would I be, with all the fabulism, division, insults and ignoring of the law that's become par for the course?
Seriously, if you must insult an opponent, at least make an effort to be creative like William Shakespeare. The Bard was a master, and funny to boot.
But there are a lot of other terms in the English language we could avail ourselves of in an attempt to describe the politics and politicians of today with a little jocularity. They're fun to say, and might just take away a little of the sting of having to deal with this stuff at all. And c'mon, I'm a word nerd, so this is my happy place.
