Word For The Day, Tuesday, January 3, 2012



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".

fusty{FUHS-tee}

-adj

1. Having a stale smell; moldy; musty.
2. Old-fashioned or out-of-date, as architecture, furnishings, or the like.
3. Stubbornly conservative or old-fashioned; fogyish.

[Fusty comes from the Old French word fust, meaning a “wine cask.” As wine casks are stuffy and smelly, the adjective is a logical association.].

As I see it, the trouble with Colmes is that he is not even egregious. He still fits squarely in the Democrat fold. How bad must the education system have become for anyone to agree with him?

If the average college graduate of today were half as educated as the average twelve year-old was when our country was founded, liberals would be extinct.

It was 20 out there this morning when we went to petsit. Those dogs did NOT want to walk farther than their yard.

Thanks. They’re going to remain this way until the GM realizes that the OC situation is an indictment on A: his ability to evaluate Coaches, or B: Talent.

There’s no third alternative. 6 years, Pennington, Favre, and Sanchez, and this guy cant crack the Top 20 on Offense, with decent talent.

What is it with those dems.......the more off the wall crazy they get the more they resemble a snake head.....Alan just keeps getting uglier. I usually see him on BORe with his SIL. She seems to cut him off before he digs in too deep.

I agree with all of your points except for the First Amendment comment, since the government protections of free speech don’t seem to have anything to do with his outrageous vitriol. I tried arguing that with the spouse just now, saying the FCC is under the govt. umbrella and how quickly something would have happened if someone had said the same thing about a prominent democrat.

No problem.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Colmes' hero, Barack Hussein Obama, couldn't find it in his heart to vote for the Illinois version of the Infant Born Alive Act. The federal version of that Act said that if, during an abortion, an infant managed to avoid the "doctor's" scissors and somehow escape into free air, he'd be afforded all of the protections of our Constitution. Seems reasonable, no?

Obama, although he used a lot of weasel words, basically had said that if a woman comes to a hospital with the expectation of aborting her baby, he doesn't believe the government should do anything to sever the relationship between the woman and her doctor.

In other words, Obama, and, by extension, Colmes, are perfectly okay with taking that living baby and sticking him or her on a shelf in the laundry room until he or she dies of neglect. THAT is okay, but Rick Santorum's act of bringing his deceased infant home so that he and his family can grieve and get closure--THAT'S crazy! We have completely entered Bizarro World, and there is no Superman there to rescue us.

And it was painful for me, but I had to admit to him he was right.

Alan Colmes is so fugly it is hard to even listen to him. He looks like he’s had work done but still looks like a Crypt Keeper to me. On top of that he’s a nasty hatefilled liberal tool.

Did you get snow? We got a little over an inch along with some wintery COLD weather. It’s enough to make me want to go back to bed and hide under the covers.....oh, wait...I already did that this morning.

Nicely done Truthy - could you add that fat tub of lard from The Five to that letter? Beckel and his constant reminders of his wild life of sex and drugs makes me so ill.

I recently met someone who used to work at Fox and said that Alan Colmes is an extremely nice guy. I GUESS maybe that could be true, but be that as it may, this was totally beyond the pale. I know he called and spoke to the Santorums to apologize personally, but honestly, if he had a decent bone in his body he’d be embarrassed to show his face ever again.

Oh gosh Ti, yes....he mentions it at least once every episode! He loved cocaine, apparently, which is probably the ONLY way he ever got laid - someone had to be drunk or high. He lives in his past and between rude/lewd remarks about women on the panel or other women, he brings up his life of drugs to remind those women he USED to be young.

It is disgusting because he glorifies drugs, even as he makes lame comments about them being bad.
