DUMBER THAN POSTS

I've been on a Politico board on reforming health care and one winger is a real hoot. I posted that he didn't seem to know what "liberal" meant and this is part of his reply:
I really could care less what liberal means to you liberal, I know what it means to me, and that's all that matters.

This immediately came to mind:

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

Through the Looking Glass.
