I’ve been seeing gigantic billboards for Orrin Hatch’s U.S. Senate Campaign. They are pretty sickening. They have adjectives supposedly describing him, along with the phonetic spellings and dictionary definitions. Well, I’ve come up with some of my own for Orrin that I think should replace the billboard spectacles:
