Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

I saw this word yesterday in this piece in National Review by Charles CW Cooke>

Further, might we not take a moment to reflect why it is that so many people have no faith in Washington, D.C.? Perhaps the state really is terrible at reacting to crises — not just under Obama, but under other presidents, too. Perhaps, having watched the most domestically ambitious administration in half a century flail and collapse in ignominy, many Americans are a touch more aporetic today than they were back in 2008? headline

No pushing at the door please!

Wow! What a word! It just floors me with its wonder!
I just can’t fathom what it means!

New Ebola Czar? We’re aporetic
Not a doc, just a hack, it’s pathetic
He might be analytical
But his purpose is political
To convince the sheep: All’s copacetic

[rarestia]

The aporetic electorate is growing weary and tired of Obama’s lack of honesty.

"Surely not mine?"

But today’s democrat apoorectic voters believe ANYTHING their administration’s slavish ABCNNBCBS press corpse puts out ....

[Cowman]

Today I would like to offer aporetic

To the tune of “On Top Of Old Smokey”

In the city of Dalas
Home of the strong breeze
I caught the Ebola
When somebody sneezed

I bleed out my eyes now
And my liver is goo
My family is coughing
and the dog's turning blue

He sent Pharm off to China
An won't stop Nigerian planes
The country is done now
and Obama’s to blame

[xsmommy]

I spent an hour yesterday watching a film that proposed to solve the mystery of the missing colony at Roanoke (1590). I came away aporetic that the “archeological geologist” knew what he was talking about.

6 foot under is where Obola fathoms the conservative Christian working class of taxpayers

[afraidfortherepublic]

Very clever. Was that meant to run with no sound?

I’m sure that the puppy court could make better decisions than some of the ones the real one makes!
