EchoFiveMike Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Locally there's a community which has the initials "DP." So the poor sheltered fools made bumper stickers "I heart DP." It's awesome, I give them to chicks at bars/college and it's priceless. S/F....Ken M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanhoe Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I have seen the Brit term "quango" before, but just now have run into use of the word "quangocrat". In a column by Delingpole, if you must know. What a wonderful word! I would guess that folks like the US's National Labor Relations Board would fit that moniker.

Ivanhoe Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Naw, he was using it in a humor piece, describing what sort of folk are members of which political party. In the US, our quangocrats are the purported center-left folks who give lip service to constitutional government, but where lines are blurred between .gov and .org, and both play referee to all things economic.

Panzermann Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Quasi autonomous NGO. That is a good term. Got to remember that one. German political parties (the bigger ones at least) have set up foundations for the purpose of political education, scholarships and foreign aid. Named for late famous members of their parties. Totally independent of course. And a place to dump politicians past their use by date. Mostly financed by various Ministries and a black hole that millions disappear in.

That would be about right. Its usually about 20 years after America has an idea that we adopt it. Unless its bad weather, and we get it about 2 weeks later. Why don't you just blame Bush?
