It’s a snowy FRiday in the frozen tundra, but the classroon is warm! Homework on the blackboard, apples on my desk.

Good morning! It’s below freezing again here, but I cannot complain. Are you snowed in? I hope not!

Cupidity was one of the twenty words my sophomores were quizzed on last week for English.

The sheer bovarism of this pres_ _ent and the cupidity of his special interests should awaken the voters to what they have entrusted our country to and should encourage the weak-kneed Republicans to reconsider impeachment.

Obama’s amazing stupidity
Is borne out of blatant cupidity
His left-wing World Order
Has opened our border
The decay now just reeks with putridity

No, no it doesn’t. I shudder to think what will happen if she gets her party’s nomination.

They should tell the President to present his State of the Union in written form.

And not give him an invitation to enter the halls of Congress to deliver it.

My irritation all along has been why don’t they enforce the laws on the books? No one needs more legislation about this simple issue. And all of this acting outside the constitution has got to stop.
