Hornswaggler | The culture, the humor, a bit of the sports, not so much the politics, and the workplace distraction

Hornswaggle is an alternate spelling of hornswoggle, an archaic word that means to bamboozle or hoodwink. I take my pronunciation from the late Harvey Korman in "Blazing Saddles" --

"I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, conmen, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists!"

Here's a story on climate change. When global warming is proved conclusively, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to be happening, by which time it will be too late to do anything about it, I shall -- while paddling around in my leaking, bedraggled canoe, scavenging for ointments to treat the itching of my radiation blisters, shotgun at my feet in case any "swamp bandits" should appear -- derive some small measure of satisfaction from yelling "I told you so!" at all the dumb fucks who pooh poohed the idea.

I shall identify all these fools by the "GOP" brand burned onto their foreheads, the result of a decree by the warlord governing my territory.
