EXCHANGE LETTER

The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing of one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are five of the winners.......
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
4. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
5. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

And here are five of my own.....
1. Chillary: The Clinton bedroom.
2. Hooprah: the commotion caused by a talk show host appearing in a mid-western one horse town
3. Mittigating: the changing of one's mind to meet the mindset of a block of voters you are courting
4. Jihard: The GOP at war trying to "out-God" each other
5. Ba-lack: The chameleon-like ability to be whatever race you find most convenient at the time

Sorry meant to say Presidency
... Hey, it would be cool after Hillary is chosen to fix things November 4th, Bush has a choice. Early resignation or impeachment. I could almost see his Father and James Baker smirking :-)
