Word For The Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2009
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".

[1400–50; late ME labyl < LL lābilis, equiv. to L lāb(ī) to slip + -ilis -ile ]
Up and at ‘em.
Good morning. It’s FINALLY Election day!
Der Boma's pronouncements are both facile and labile, since they come with an expiration date.
When I hear a frenchman praising Barack Obama, I have an urge to cough up “la bile”.
The lawyer’s liable-maker kept misspelling his title every time it printed a sticker.
Welcome!
Hey Brooks, Maureen called, she wants her column back.
When I were a young'n, committing dastardly deeds like painting High School logos and "Class of '77" on railroad trestles, I discovered that being labile was a good thing. When the local Police Cars showed up, we'd run into nearby woods and freeze when the searchlight lit up our general area. We were seldom caught, but never arrested.
yeah, why talk about politics on ELECTION DAY? 3 republican votes cast in Fairfax Co. this AM. xsboy was quite proud of himself and wore his I VOTED sticker in to school this AM.
Congratulations to your young man for casting his first official vote!!!!
I’m waiting to hear from coolbreeze about the situation at our polling place. I’ll go around 1pm.
The Dems approach in elections is never labile, as they always “look to the union label” with their candidates...
you know it was weird bc we were given paper ballots and pens to fill in the circles in order to vote and then we put it into an electronically fed ballot box. we have voted electronically in one way or another for probably the past 8 years or more, so this was strange. as i said to the woman, why are we going back to the dark ages?
That is weird.
I’m not going to wait until after lunch to vote. I’ve got to go out to the store in a little while and the high school is on the way, no point in going back out again.
another election day,
another year,
no more hope and change,
up our collective rear.
tea partiers rocked
and entered politics,
and they scoffed at us
called us country hicks.
near the canadian border
emerges a candidate
who captured hearts,
already a change of fate.
new jersey is poised
christie leading the charge
at the democrat cheating,
the man is living large.
a republican victory
looms outside the beltway
that narcissist one tried,
but he could not sway.
his mantra has worn thin,
hope and change indeed,
we’ve all had enough,
now we are united in deed.
so rise up America,
take to the polls
pull down the lever
for conservative moles.
stick it to theOne,
to his healthcare reform
and to cap and trade,
give him the perfect storm.
you are intending to be dirty with this one, aren’t you? i knew it!

whats with all the wedgies? ; )
The little wedgies are irritating but that there might be an atomic wedgie is most concerning.
Woo hoo! I hope my family in NJ is voting today. Christie needs a big fat victory and I am loving his Imus interview being played over and over.
A big fat 550 pound victory in Joisey.
I was number 97 on the A-M line and there had been 94 in the N-Z line. That’s pretty good because there are only about 500 registered voters for my polling place.
Signage was kinda weird. The McDonnell/Bolling/Cucinelli signs were all on the highway frontage of the HS. The Deeds signs were on the non-road frontage side of the building, which was the entrance to the polling area. I didn’t see a single sign for the Dem Lt. Gov or AG candidates.
Delegate race signs were abundant with the Dem incumbent signs out numbering his Republican opponent at least 2 to 1. The incumbent was outside when I got there and he actually asked me where I was going to be for celebrating tonight. I thought that was interesting. I don’t see him losing his seat, but he is well aware that I am not a Democrat.
Because they chop off heads. That’s the only the secular humanist liberal respects.
1) Rationing
Increased cost
increased waiting time for medical treatment
Look up David Icke - my son told me about him - he believes that reptilian aliens are the worlds “blue bloods” (including the Bush family) who came here to control our planet. ;^)
In 1999, he published The Biggest Secret, in which he wrote that the Illuminati are a race of reptilian humanoids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.[3][5]
No, not Kris Kristofferson. I am crushed.
And he’s only slightly crazier than a few freepers who are currently posting....
I’m miss the good old days we used to have real crazies here: including the guy who insists the moon landing was staged...
It’s not me. It’s those Romans making up all these dirty words.
CJ is still here and a personal friend of mine so get off of him... ; )
Reminds me of the joke where the guy says to the shrink “you think I’m obsessed with sex? You’re the one showing me all the dirty pictures”
Man-Bird-Pig Flu.
Lucy T was freepmailing me about that all weekend. I don’t think it’s pneumonic plague. I think it’s swines.
Blood spitting, growing respiratory disorders, heart failure, respiratory failure, shock are being observed
Got another one for ya. A US Patent on the Swines from 2004?
What does that mean?
Um, if you get sick you owe royalties?
Yes, Now give me $3.50
That'll be about three-fitty.
You figured it out.
I’m the Loch Ness Monster
LOL
Yesterday was a circus-I apologize for not getting back-as far as Jax’s rebellion attempts, I think you are on the right track-whenever my daughter started talking like she was a political prisoner, insisting it was a free country her dad and I told her no, it isn’t until you are 18-until then, you live in a small monarchy, and you are only a princess who must live by the rules of the royal couple-your parents. If you choose to go elsewhere, you must leave all your princess perks like phone and computer use, money, food and shelter. And since she approached and began her teen years in the Carter economic debacle when times were very hard, we’d also tell her to please write if she found work.
Once, when daughter’s room was a disaster, complete with dishes I’d been missing under the bed with moldy food on them, I decided to take drastic action. While she watched in anxious silence, I was in the process of shoving everything out from under there using a broom-when a large scorpion walked over the mound of stuff, waving it’s pincers. Daughter Dearest, who is terrified of bugs to this day let out a blood-curdling scream and jumped into the middle of her bed, shouting “kill it mom, please kill it”. My husband heard the screaming and came running to see what was going on, so daughter said “daddy, there is a scorpion there and it could sting me”. In the shouting confusion, the scorpion made it’s escape just as daughter was showing dad where it had been. She was almost in tears, yelling “where did it GO?” To his credit, my husband kept a straight face when he said “I don’t know, but if you don’t clean up this room NOW, you WILL see it again”. That kid was still running the vacuum at 10:30 pm-good thing it was a Friday night.
Why did I have a flash of a guy asking his girlfriend to remember the last time she saw him shave?
