While at the Atlas Economic Research Foundation  conference in Ontario this past weekend, keynote speaker, the Discovery  Institute's George Gilder, told what  he thought of Pickens's plan, and he . . . well, was not impressed.  
 The word he used was  "imbroglio."
 I had to look it up:  Pronounced -  im·bro·glio 
1: a confused mass
 1: a confused mass
2 a: an intricate or  complicated situation (as in a drama or novel) 
 b: an acutely painful or  embarrassing misunderstanding 
 c: a violently confused  or bitterly complicated altercation : embroilment 
 d: scandal 3a  <survived the political imbroglio>
 Yikes!  What three syllable word did he use on Gore's plan?
