Just a meaningless but curious etymology. From Kloppenburg.org:
As my father explains, the Kloppen part means “‘fighting’, beating, defeating, thrashing or raising hell.” The burg part means simply a fortification.
So, as I like to tell my friends and acquaintances, Kloppenburg can be translated in the vernacular to mean “Fort Whoop-Ass”.
I now place the odds of her conceding without court action at less than 50/50.
Like I said, on the verge of becoming a verb.
In other news, did you hear the one about the wide open ballot bags in the city of Brookfield that are so troubling even though the recount vote matched election night and canvass numbers almost precisely? And in Milwaukee County too.
I get it now. The Republicans failed to seal ballot bags properly in order to commit election fraud, but did so in a way that the votes didn’t change much on the recount.
Evil geniuses, they. Depriving Team Kloppenburg of the proof it needed to unmask the conspiracy. This runs deep, very deep.
To the barricades! Defend the fort.

We are, indeed evil geniuses. Look at the way we stole the 2000 Presidential election. Brooks Brothers suits and all. And the use of Halliburton to rig an illegal war in Iraq was pure genius. Never mind how the Koch Brothers cleverly started the Teabagger movement and completely fund every person in the movement. Why, I've been able to quit my job on the checks from those folks. And Scott Walker….well if ever there was an evil genius….
So this election rigging against Kloppy is mere child'splay.

Wouldn't "The Kloppenburg Etymology" make a good name for a Ludlum novel?
