Word For The Day, Monday, 12/12/11



In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

ephemeral;adj.

1. lasting a very short time; short-lived; transitory: the ephemeral joys of childhood. 2. lasting but one day: an ephemeral flower

Etymology: C16: from Greek ephēmeros lasting only a day, from hēmera day]

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

It is futile to Pursue The Ephemeral Positions of Pundits.

Let's hope that this A$$HAT has a very ephemeral tenure in off ice and that Lowe's sticks to it's guns on this matter

Calif. senator threatens boycott over Lowe's ads

(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2819070/posts) Calling the retail giant's decision "un-American" and "naked religious bigotry," Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press on Sunday that he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads

There is nothing more ephemeral than the credibility of a once-great Nation under the "leadership" of the Kenyan-in-Chief.
