“We have two parties… One is the Evil Party and the other is the Stupid Party… Occasionally the two parties get together to do something that’s both evil and stupid. That’s called bipartisanship.” - M. Stanton Evans
M. Stanton Evans (1934-2015) was, among other things, a college professor at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Natchitoches? Wait a minute, isn't there a city called Nagadoches? That's weird, why would we have two cities with weirdly similar names? Did somebody get one of the names wrong? Well, I did. It's not Nagadoches, it's Nacodoches, but other than that, no. Natchitoches is in Lousiana and Nacodoches is in east Texas. They are about 100 miles apart.

Via Brian Robertson in The Tennessee Star where he has a long diatribe against the members of the stupid Republican (or is it the evil Republican?) party.

It's not Nacodoches, it's Nacogdoches. Don't forget the "g"! Nacogdoches and Natchitoches are two different spellings of the same word. The first is Spanish; the second is French. The Cajuns being what they are, they pronounce Natchitoches something like "Nackatish."
