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!"
The news that an extensive porn stash was found in bin Laden's hideout is awesome, and if true it would do much to tarnish his image in the Islamic world, but besides the fact that it's not clear if the stash was actually Osama's, and not one of his cohorts', there's plenty of reason to be skeptical, because this reeks of U.S. military propaganda. See Jessica Lynch, Pat Tillman, the Pentagon's military analyst program.
It's hilarious that bin Laden's compound was stocked with Coke and Pepsi, though. He hated America, but even the bin Laden household couldn't resist Infidel Cola.
