What I learned in years of Biblical Greek: the word "moron" comes from the
Greek word "moron" which means "moron." The most common use of the word, other
than as in, "So and so is a moron," is in the word "sophomore" which combines
the words for wisdom, sophia, with the word, moron, and combined is not
complimentary, kind of implying arrorant dummies who think because they know a
little that they know a lot.
I don't know that I would call Bush a moron, as he has a certaiu functional
capability equal to the average smart ass frat boy. I have long ago gotten
tired of his smirky little sneer. I have an intense visceral dislike of the
man and his whiny ways.
This election reveals that 1/2 of the electorate feels something like I do.
1/2 of the electorate feels somewhat the opposite. The best solution was given
by David Letterman: Gore is not president, Bush is not president, can't we just
leave it at that?
Since we can't, I reflect that no matter how this turns out, Gore did win the
popular vote. If the frat boy gets in, he will never be able to unite his
country with his comments that millions of people will be happy he is
president. He should have the humility to recognise that he lost the popular
vote and his bragging on himself is not proper for a person who may win the
presidency while finishing second in the popular vote.
