Which ‘O’ Word ?


Last week Joe Biden (J.B.) proclaimed that “life does not begin at conception.” The logical question which should have been asked is, “President Biden, if life does not begin at conception, when does it begin?” Thus far I have not seen nor heard of anyone asking this obvious question!

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I looked up his education to see if he had come across something scientific that I had perhaps missed in school.

In college J.B. earned a Bachelor of Arts. Those that I know who have earned a Bachelor of Arts did not take many biology courses. In fact most took none. And for certain, those in liberal arts never took an Embryology course. Hmmm, I wonder where he came across this knowledge? Perhaps in law school where he finished in the lower 11% of his class? I think that it is a safe bet that the relationship between conception and life is not something that is taught in law schools even today.

Somewhere deep in the recesses of my mind was a word to describe this type of personal knowledge, and although I could not put my finger on this word, I knew it began with the letter, ‘O.’ So I pulled out my Grolier Webster International Dictionary, and started to alphabetically scroll through the ‘O’-words, hoping that I would recognize that ‘O’-word that describes President Biden’s apparent knowledge:

-‘obdurate’ … meaning indifferent to or unmoved by human feelings. (Not the word I was thinking of, although it certainly describes J.B.’s treatment of the families of those killed recently in Afghanistan.)

-‘obfuscated’ … meaning bewildered, confused, or muddled. (Not the word I was thinking of, although applicable to J.B. almost all of the time.)

-‘obnoxious’ … meaning offensive or unpopular. (WithJ.B’s favorability now below forty percent, he is certainly becoming more and more unpopular.)

-‘obsequious’ … meaning excessively obedient and submissive. (Absolutely applies to J.B., although at this point we are not sure to whom he is being obedient and submissive.)

-‘obsolescent’ … tending to become out of date. (I would guess that even J.B.’s handlers realize that poorly hidden index cards are no longer trendy.)

-‘obtunded’ … dull (Self explanatory) 

-‘octogenarian’ … 80-90 years old (technically, not quite, although)

-‘offensive’ … causing anger and resentment (again self-explanatory for multiple reasons, but still not the word I am trying to think of.)

-‘omnipotent’ … having unlimited power (unfortunately, he thinks that he is ‘the king’ with unlimited power, though in a constitutional republic, that is not the case.)

-‘opprobrious’ … disgraceful or shameful (although this word perfectly describes his overall his actions in Afghanistan, not the word I was trying to think of.)

I was getting discouraged as I was not finding the right word for J.B.’s almost miraculous knowledge, as and then I hit upon it …

-‘omniscient’ … having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things.

Yes, one way of looking at J.B.’s knowledge about when life begins is to say that J.B. is indeed omniscient!!

From my wife’s Irish heritage, another descriptive ‘O’ word pops into to my head when I think of J.B.:

– ‘omadon’ … buffoon

OMG, the real question is how can this deceptive, devious, deceitful dunderhead sleep at night ?

    “May I simply just say what a comfort to find someone that genuinely knows what they are discussing online. You definitely realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people must look at this and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you’re not more popular since you most certainly possess the gift.”
