We don't say "shambolic" enough.

"Amb. John Sullivan: Some of the calamities that befell the Russian military people just have forgotten about — they had their troops digging trenches in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, digging up irradiated soil and poisoning their own people; their flagship for the Black Sea, the Moskva, was sunk by Ukrainian missiles; the number of general officers using cell phones and getting blown up. It was pretty catastrophic and shambolic."

- Yup—agree it’s a nice word though—but can’t be a word you end a sentence with. Loses the true flavor of the meaning in that instance. -- nm - Flav Feb 27, 21:37
