As Norman Mailer once wrote, "Stupidity is for nothing, not even itself."

I love Kurt Vonnegut's governmental motto: "In Nonsense is Strength!"

I used to work in the Federal public service, for Canada's Unemployment Insurance Commission......"UIC" in the vernacular. Being government, the Ivory Tower folks regularly massaged the language to make it more "user-friendly" and "touchy-feely". That negative term, "unemployment" had to go, so we became the meaningless "Canada Employment Commission"....still entirely devoted to providing benefits to those who had become unemployed.
We also had lots of those irritating, "motivational" inter-department slogans. One the experts came up with was "Where People Matter", which we regularly defaced to read "Where People Mutter"
