Monument To Hubris In The Arizona Desert »
by George Landrith
I don’t know if the ancient language of Arizona’s Tohono O’odham Native American tribe includes a word for “hubris” — defined as excessive pride or self-confidence, with synonyms like “arrogance” and “deceit.”

He knows that the mainstream media will gleefully assist him in this endeavor …
