Footnote Explaining Latin Motto of this Blog

Special Note to Patronus Incognitus Readers
(added November 2008):
As a reward for reading one of the first posts I ever wrote when I began blogging in 2004. I here reveal the translation of the Paronus Incognitus motto: With the help of this very useful Latin to English on-line site, you can see that the Latin motto "atramentum cogitabundum advorsum asinum batillummeans" means: "Ink wrapped in thought will prevail against the 'donkey man's' dung shovel." No offense intended.

[Isn't cogitabundum a great word? It means "wrapped in thought": cogita as in cogitate and bundum as in bundled.

Asinum is an equally interesting word. It means "donkey man" or "donkey driver" but here I use it to imply Democrat since the donkey is their mascot. It is pure coincidence that asinum is also the Latin root for asinine.]
