Fwd: Re: New Word..

["C. Scott Davis" <scott@sericyber.com>]

Yesterday, someone sent me this "Vocabulary word of the day"
:


       AlGoreithm, n.
(al-gor-ith-m)

Any method of calculation performed endlessly until
a predetermined desired result is produced.



Okay, I thought, but to be honest, neither candidate or party is really
interested in what's true, right, fair or legal. They just want to win
(which is why I actually wish neither of them were going to
president).

So, I felt another "Vocabulary word" was also in order, and
came up with :


       Dubbyaism, n.
(dub-yu-iz-m)

The practice of stopping a calculation as soon as it appears
that a predetermined desired result has been produced.




I think the two together pretty much sum up their approach to this whole
fiasco.

Now of course, most Democrats will think that the 2nd one is right on the
money, but that the first one is terribly unfair to Gore, who is "of
course" just trying to do what's fair and right by making sure that
all votes are accurately counted. Uh huh... right...

And, well, most Republicans will chuckle at the 1st one, but insist that
the 2nd one is a horrible character assassination of Bush, who is
"simply" trying to make sure that the election is handled in a
legal and proper way. Yeah... sure...


Anyway, the way I figure it, you guys are sure to appreciate one or the
other, and heck, maybe even both, so I sent it to the list.



Cheers,

Scott
