The fiscal economics are recondite
And Obama loves a fiscal war to fight
To blame the other party
And laugh, loud and hearty
The last laugh would be if we could indict

The Mainstream Media i.e. The Fifth Column habitually confounds the mendacious with the abstruse, the striaghtforward with the obscure, and the obvious with the recondite.

I have more drugs, should get better soon. Today was the last day my doctor and NP are here, they retire after today. I will miss them. I guess I had to get sick to see them one last time. The good news is one of the new docs is an osteopathic doc who can adjust my back.

Well, we have not seen or heard from her in a while, so I guess the former recondirice est still missing in action.

It is telling that I do wonder who she voted for in the election: was she a racist sellout like “general” Powell, or did she vote her conscience?

As I read “The Gulag Archipelago”, I am reminded of the recondite, arcane language of some of our more recent legislation here in the USA.
