A kludge is a workaround, a quick-and-dirty solution, a clumsy or inelegant, yet effective, solution to a problem.
The kludge ethic was very much on show at Wikipedia recently when Palin fans logged on to rewrite the Paul Revere page to jibe with their Dear Leader's 'facts' (or faɔʇs). Long Live Kim Il Palin!
Thankfully, most of the headbangers soon saw their handiwork re-revised by saner folk who still retain an affection for the truth. This, of course, left the headbangers fuming impotently about Wikipedia's "left leaning bias".
For f*ck's sake... these people really, really need to emigrate to North Korea cuz 'Merican they are not. Anti-intellectual personality cults and a slavish devotion to historical revisionism is all the rage there... here, we're more into straight-up stoopid. We don't hold with distorting facts, we prefer just to ignore them.
