Word of the day: “politicoendomasuchia”

Date April 28, 2006

Politicoendomasuchia, n: unease with the concept of politicians in costume. -iast, one suffering from this unease.

(chuckle) Looks like the Prime Minister of Canada may be enough of a Trekkie to have once appeared in a convention masquerade. Gasp! Stagger! Swoon! Yet another sign of the decline of Western civilization. Now Canadian bloggers are trying to find a picture to confirm the rumor. (Photoshopped fakes are already appearing.)

What will people who find this bothersome make of King Abdullah of Jordan, then? Or Stephen Hawking? (No, they’ll say, it’s OK in his case: he didn’t actually dress up!)
