A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

When in Brazil I first learned of the fist bump a year or 2 ago.  It was cute and quaint because southern Brazilians are sweet and good natured.  Now Mr and Mrs. Bitter Obama are using it and making it a subtle feature of their campaign. When you take a goofy mannerism and amplify it to the extent that B.O. has it becomes pure idiocy.  I am most annoyed.  I prefer our shyster politicians not coopt the simple things.  But they can not resist spreading their disease to all things clean. Thus I pledge not to use the fist bump again.  It was cute.  Now its just stupid.
