abecedarian -- adj., being inclined to view events with suspicion and a general bias toward an expectation of spin, avarice, hidden motives, high and low calumny, and self-serving lies. From Abakarius, the early chronicler of the Roman senate who wrote of Caeser's (Julius) ransacking of Marc Antony's psychiatrist's office, the "single dagger theory", and the Persian catapults for concubines scandal. Having lived a full 1700 years before John Peter Zenger and the sanctification of the concept of a free press, Abakarius was slain by order of the Senate and his liver and kidneys fed to the pigeons in the Colosseum.

"Bob Woodward used to be praised for his jaundiced, if not abecedarian, world view, but fame seems to have made him a total lapdog for the powerful."
