Word of the Day: Megalomania

Though we are going with an image of the late Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, the man we had in mind for this entry is Turkey's notorious prime minster Recep Tayyip Erdogan. A few years ago while visiting Bursa, Turkey, I saw a sticker with a toilet plunger which said: "AK Parti'yi Istemiyoruz/We don't want the AK-Party." And, given that Erdogan is from the ruling AK-Party, which couldn't agree more.

We suspect that our blogs might be blocked in Turkey as we have been very critical of the Turkish government, but hopefully, this can perhaps reach someone in neighboring Bulgaria.

Here is today's word of the day:

'Megalomania" (from Wikipedia): " This is a psychopathological disorder characterized by delusional fantasiesof power, relevance, and omnipotence.
