Mikey's sure starting off positive. Looks like he missed his meds. Slamming Romney and calling George Bush the worst president in the US.

In the first hour, Michael claimed the phrase "illegitimi non carborundum" came from ancient Rome. According to Wikipedia, it was coined in the 20th century.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegitimi_non_carborundum
"Illegitimi non carborundum is a mock-Latin aphorism jokingly taken to mean 'don't let the bastards grind you down'. "
...
"The phrase originated during World War II. Lexicographer Eric Partridge attributes it to British army intelligence very early in the war (in the plural illegitimis). The phrase was adopted by US Army general 'Vinegar' Joe Stillwell as his motto during the war. It was later further popularized in the US by 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater."

They also say that "carborundum" is a trademarked name for an abrasive (silicon carbide) which was only discovered in the late 19th century; the abrasive of antiquity is "corundum," a mineral which is chemically related to sapphire.
