Power of the Press
The editor of the Chico News and Review used the “N” word in his column and called the president a “nincompoop”. I must admit that, at first, I was startled by this outburst of his; then, curious, I tried saying it a few times myself. “Nin-com-poop”. Then, “Nincom-poop”, very fast. I tried saying it slowly, drawing out the “nin” and finishing with a bold “poop”. And the more I said it, the more I liked the way it sounded…what fun! (But, what does it mean?)

Maybe...but Free Speech certainly. And "nincompoop" has a certain,endearing quality to it. I mean, you could call your best friend a nincompoop and get away with it; not that Mr. Bush is my best friend...
ReplyDeleteWow, Steve I thought I saw you Blue fishing with G.H.W. Bush and G.W. Bush down in Kennebunkport....Must have been a different handsome devil.
ReplyDeleteThat was me alright...but since I am not such a good friend, I was only there to bait the hooks
