oubliette>>>>>>>>great word


The Oubliette

Oubliette - a little place of forgetting. A small, windowless room where someone is locked away, forgotten, left to go mad.

This is my personal place to rant and rave like the lunatic I am, my oubliette. It's dark, quiet, and I come here to forget about things. Or maybe to remember them.

After all, where does insanity end, and insight begin?

***Great question for Democrats to ponder.

Yours is a good use of the word oubliette.

In the medieval castles of Europe, an oubliette was situated beneath a trap door at the entrance. When a lever was pressed, an intruder standing on the trap door was dropped into the oubliette, from which there was no exit, and left there to die and be forgotten.

That's what we need to do with the Democrat Party.
