Clinton had originally said she would NOT sign a document allowing a vote to be held on her nomination; aides thought it could be divisive, and worried that it could make her seem weak, since many of her nearly 1900 delegates would almost certainly not vote for her almost 3 months after she formally conceded.

But MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz watched his work become a catch phrase. Lorenz, who died in April, created one of the most beguiling and evocative notions ever to leap from the lab into popular culture: the "butterfly effect," the concept that small events can have large, widespread consequences. The name stems from Lorenz's suggestion that a massive storm might have its roots in the faraway flapping of a tiny butterfly's wings.

Common terms include “racist, sexist, imperialist, and homophobe,” but occasionally a fresh utterance is tossed in, such as “dittohead.” A “dittohead” is one who listens to Rush Limbaugh’s radio program. The person is thought to agree with his viewpoint, although specific characteristics differ depending on the source. Wikipedia defines the word fairly elucidating, both its positive and negative aspects. Dittoheads are “people who love the show and what he’s doing, and hope he never stops doing it,” and, less charitably, are “listeners [who] simply copy his political...
