Bonus word for September
POTUS, illustrated by the master, G.B. Trudeau. see it larger
Subliminababble (my definition) - words and phrases, fermented in the mind and spouted unabashedly from the mouth of the current POTUS!*
I ran across the word "subliminababble" this morning while reading a back issue of X-TRA. Micol Hebron's terrific Artspeak column is (of course) the first thing I turn to when I pick up X-TRA. I love the words, Girl! I jus love 'em!
If you liked "subliminabable", you'll L-O-V-E these Bushisms:

*POTUS - this always sounds kind of dirty to me but it's really not.

I always want a president who is smarter than me and everyone I know. Perhaps those who prefer a "plain-spoken" president are insecure about their own intelligence and need someone with whom they can relate. Remember during the 2004 election there was the talk of which candidate you'd rather have a beer with, Kerry or Bush?
I think many conservatives see intelligence, logical thinking and curiosity as weak and dangerous qualities. It's easier to wave the flag or quote the Bible than to think for yourself.
Okay, rant over. :)

How can ANYONE vote for someone, regardless of party, that can BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH or even STRING A SENTENCE TOGETHER?
