The meaning of Poindexter
Verbal Jazz remembers when "Poindexter" was shorthand for a nerd or geek. It seems now that Poindexter could be shorthand for increasingly bad ideas promoted in defense of freedom. Verbal Jazz may have nothing new to add to the terrorism futures mix, but, what is going to come next a Ponzi scheme from the Office of Information Awareness (read: Big Brother)? I can just picture it now, pay a fee to get secrets to being a good terrorist, which is really a list of addresses to email to offer to sell secrets to being a good terrorist. Anyone interested in sucha list is then arrested for harboring terroist intentions and then sent to Guantanamo Bay where they then face a Kangaroo court.
Word is, Poindexter plans to step down, thus avoiding that whole nast scenario. |
