Mediocrites

Mediocrites(Mee-dee-ok-ri-tees)was a Greek pre-Socratic philosopher (5th century BC) who preached a doctrine of ignorance, self-delusion & blind patriotism. He achieved little renown until he was declared Philosophical Patron Saint of Modernity by an international delegation under the chairmanship of Henry Kissinger in Frankfurt in 1969. This received the blessing of both the Pope & Mao Tse Tung who described the decision as 'momentous'. Kissinger chose to celebrate the Frankfurt announcement by bombing the shit out of Cambodia.

Mediocrites - if he didn't exist, you'd have to make him up.
