Thanks, everyone. Did a little thesaurus research myself. I've learned a bunch of new words and will probably start off with "woolgathering" in another thread soon.

Paul's response made me think of "ruminate". It's a very underused word but means to think deeply about something but also refers to how cows eat.

yes, ruminate I think is a good word: best applied to our political "leaders", since rumination mostly produces slightly digested sh!t (and abundant hot gases) whose only conceivable beneficial use is as fertilizer.
