Bold.
I’ve figured out where all this bold rhetoric is coming from. Everything this administration is doing, from boldly negotiating with North Korea just like Clinton did, to boldly addressing our tax code’s horribly progressive nature (whereby people who don’t make enough money to live actually get money from people who have enough to worry about stock dividends), is bold. Bold bold bold.
You ever look at the etymology of bold? It comes from the Indo-European root bhel:
bhel-2: To blow, swell; with derivatives referring to various round objects and to the notion of tumescent masculinity.
Keep blowing, Bush; keep swelling, pundits. Just beware: there’s only one place to go when bold’s used up.
