We teach young people to check the dictionary when they are unsure of the spelling of a word. We also tell them that it is wise not to use a word if they are unsure of its meaning. Well it's obvious from all accounts that Senator George Allen of Virginia never learned this important lesson. In this article Senator Allen claims he did not know the meaning of the word macaca but went ahead and used it anyway. If that is not sheer stupidity I don't know what is. Maybe Senator Allen should invest in a good dictionary and heed the words of Abraham Lincoln, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
