After decades I have given up the domain name Nincompoopery.com

It comes time to retire nincompoopery. Here's the deal. The idiocy of life is no longer funny to me. I hesitate to look at it, because nincompoopery is no longer a funny anomaly. It is the country's chosen path.

So, time to move on. I don't want to stop writing; it's a great outlet for me, but a page must be turned.

It describes absurdly silly conduct or systemic stupidity, like corporate processes that fail despite everyone knowing the problem, leading to frustration and incompetence. 

In the above definition, "frustration" is doing a lot of work in that sentence :-).
