Why ‘poody heads’?

I started this blog as a way to sound off on political things that ticked me off, but it’s grown past that.  I’ve discovered that many, many things upset me, and I need to rant about all of them.  But generally, at the heart of any problem there’s usually a person (or a group of people) that don’t quite seem “normal”.  They don’t think like regular folks.  There seems to be something mis-wired in their brains.  I call them poody heads.

Look up “poody head” and you’ll find that it isn’t a real word.  Well, it wasn’t – it is now. (I follow Humpty Dumpty’s rule as explained to Alice when I’m using words.)  I chose to use a new word because there wasn’t a word in existence that covers how a lot of jerks make me feel.  And I needed a word that sounded vaguely nasty (sort of a cross between potty, poopy, and dooty – hey! what do you expect?  I’m only three years old…).  Plus, poody can be short for poodle, and, even though it’s unfair, poodles are thought of as pretty much useless and stupid.  And if all that doesn’t perfectly describe some people, I don’t know what does.

The fact that no politician can complain about being called a made-up word is just added giggles.  In order to succeed in politics, you must spend tons of other people’s money, want power more than anything else in the world, and not care who you hurt in the process.  Someone like that isn’t a nice person.  Someone like that is just an old poody head…
