Ok, thanks for the reminder. No point in going into ACA again.

However, on the topic of Professor Gruber, I would like to thank him for adding at least two new word to our language: to Gruber and Gruberish. This is helpful as we can be more alert to snide, elitist shenanigans of this type in the future.

Gruber verb groo-burr

: To tell a lie deliberately with the intent of misleading.

: To misinform people based on the belief that they are too stupid to understand the wisdom of your position.

example: To conceal the truth about major legislation, it was necessary to gruber the entire nation.

noun

: A calculated mistruth intended to deceive listeners

example: The explanation given in favor of the proposed bill was one huge gruber from one end to the other.


Gruberish noun groo-burr-esh

: Any bewildering deluge of falsehoods designed to confound an audience based on the speaker’s awareness that the truth must be concealed by any means necessary.


example: A preposterous mountain of gruberish was put forth intended to hide the fact that the entire nation had been grubered about a major piece of legislation.

I apologize if I strayed but Gruber alluded to the deception and our stupidity and he was correct, and thus my posts to point out how correct he was.

Directly to your thread....my bet is that they will line up to take his class ! Just a hunch !
