This word has its origins in the ancient
Greek word idiōtēs, meaning a private person, a person who is not
actively interested in politics. The word is now commonly used to
mean someone of relatively low intelligence.
It seems to have come full circle from its original meaning. Because
of the word’s negative connotations, ‘idiot’ slowly changed how it
is used today. Ironically, many people now use that word to
describe politicians, who are always interested in politics.

Unelectum All
I am so excited. It is official! My latest (45th) book "Unelectum All" is available on Amazon, Barnes, etc. The stores do not yet stock it, but it can be ordered at the counter. The title says it all. Obviously it is political and is packed with facts, figures, and quotes from some of the good, bad, and ugly politicians that we are responsible for voting into office. This is all tempered with my opinions and a bit humor thrown in. We can correct our errors next year by serving up our own form of term limits - not re-electing any incumbent from either party.
Amazon has the 'search inside' feature turned on, so you can take a peek before you buy a few dozen for Christmas gifts. LINK With each gift you make three people happy, the receiver, me, and yourself for being such a good person. Thanks!
