Song of Spider-Man, pg 127-8:

So were we prepared? Who knew. Weaseling out of responsibility for the WMD debacle, Donald Rumsfeld talked of known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. But--and this pertained to theatre as much as to wars in IRaq--what he should have mentioned but didn't was a fourth category: the unknown knowns. According to Slovene philosopher Slavoj Zizek, unknown knowns are the things that we know, or that we should know, but maintain willful ignorance about, because we'd rather not acknowledge them.

MY SHRIEKS OF PAINED LAUGHTER, GUYS. AUDIBLE FROM SPACE, JESUS.
