The GAB is a nidus of liberal activism in Wisconsin as demonstrated by their recent ruling that they will not accept complaints of petition fraud from anyone except the individual campaigns of the legislators that are being recalled. The GAB is the antithesis of its name. In fact, I have long called them the Government UN-accountability board.

The nidus of those who infect us is Washington, D.C.
They need us more than we need them.

Under their rock, the lib nidus
Conjures new taxes to bite us
“Fool them all; make them eat
From the government teat
No worries; the media will hide us”

UN... Unparalleled Nidus.
Let's kick them out of the US, send them to Europe, and use the UN building for those businesses who were originally at the WTC.

Nidus.
Our town historian says this is King Nidus, who had the golden touch and was touched about gold. I think he had a daughter name of Bling.

This regime revels in that no longer is the U.S. independent of other nations for its energy, nor remains the nidus of innovation in industry in the world...

You must be thinking of nadir, nidus is pronounced with the long i sound. Nadir would be a good follow up word for nadir to soundly confuse everyone. LOL

I think i may have created a NEW word.
Nadis: A nest of villainy that has become the lowest point to which a person can sink.
