Sneakeasy's Joint: Fighting the Minions of W.A.C.K.I.E.

What is an IDIOT? What is IDIOCY? How can one tell? Who is fighting the war agaisnt them?

Good questions!

I'm glad I asked! :-)

Merriam-Websters has 2 answers:

IDIOT: A foolish or stupid person.

IDIOCY: Something notably stupid or foolish.

On IDIOTARIAN, IDIOTARIANS, and IDIOTARIANISM the compilers, and guardians of our beautiful and expanding language are sadly silent.

The snobbish nitpickers! Who annointed them to decide what constitutes a legitimate word in the english language?

Who in the hell do they think they are?

The freakin' French, for cryin' out loud??

My God! The Inhumanity!

Ah well, those are only "Official" definitions, anyway.

For most ordinary folks, like you and me, our definition is more along the lines of the following:

"I can't put my finger on it, young feller, but I'll know it when I see it, by cracky!!"

You see, we all have an inbred Idiotarian Spotting Radar, but most of us are unaware of it, how to use it, or of its usefullness.

Being an idiot, or a practitioner of idiocy is NOT reserved for folks of one city, one county, one state, one nation, one ethnicity, one party, or one government.

The minions of Idiotarianism are Legion, and until now only one group of valiant souls were openly fighting the good fight!

Emperor Misha I and his loyal subjects of the Rottweiler Empire.

The The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler has led the fight to expose the the threat of Idiotarianism of all stripes, with an admitted focus on my fellow Liberals.

So???

My feeling is that you have to start somewhere, right?

His language is, um, colorful, and a bit frank.

So???

It's not as if the Left hasn't used colorful and frank language in its commentary against those who disagree with them.

Such has been a proud part of American Political discourse since our Founding Fathers.

Get over it, already!

Some people have thin skins, no sense of humor, and are slaves to Political Correctness.

I may not agree with him on everything, but about idiots, and idiocy, he says some useful things:

"We think idiots are useless, no matter what party they claim to be a part of. Oh, and we think that the best way of dealing with them is to beat them repeatedly over the head with a blunt instrument."

They call this instrument a ClueBaT.

I am somewhere to the Left of the Emperor politically, more or less, somewhat, theoretically.

Actually, this is up for debate in some quarters, and even in my own mind, these days. :-)

However, I too have seen my share of idiots, and idiocy, and have written about it here over the past year and a half.

And so I, The Mad Macedonian, secure in my Branch Maceyugoserbulgarigreekadonian Compound, has decided to ally myself with The Emperor in the ongoing battle to expose the minions of the World Allied Conspiratorial Kongress of Idiotarians Everywhere ( better known as W.A.C.K.I.E. ).

Thus is born the Fighting W.a.c.k.i.e. All-over Project ( FWAP!! ).

So it is written, so let it be done! :-)

***UPDATE - 7/20/06***

Today is a great day for freedom. I think it's entirely fitting that I have chosen this day to announce the biggest event in the New Media's short history. Today is the long awaited launch day for Head Up Yer Ass Media ( H.U.Y.A.M. )

What is Head Up Yer Ass Media, you ask?
