Dear Mr. Obama:
Had you been more sedulous as President, i.e., said you less and did you more, perhaps your library would contain more than the ruins of your healthcare plan and the disastrous Iran Deal.

If liberals were as sedulous about serving the will of the people as they are about trotting out aggrieved females and destroying lives, this country would be a MUCH nicer place!

Love that word. Once I threw it in an Airman Performance Report for a subordinate, and the brass made me remove it. :)

The MSM are simply credulous,
Icarian — as in son of Daedalus
Any dirt on the Right
And their minions take flight-
Crazed & biased, no longer sedulous…

It is just so glaringly apparent
That only the most credulous
Give credit to that liberal lie
That Robert Muller is sedulous

With his every word and action
Filled with bias and self service
You’d have to be stoned or dead
If you haven’t become nervous

The only true guilty parties in this
No matter how hard Muller may try
To conjure with smoke and mirrors
Is the Clinton owned DOJ and FBI...

Let us pray our president and his loyal pantheon apply sedulous precision to remove the thorned and seditious cancers infesting our government.

Consider this list: diligent, careful, meticulous, thorough, assiduous, attentive, industrious, conscientious, ultracareful, punctilious, scrupulous, painstaking, minute, rigorous, particular.

It sounds like the description of an entirely different variety of boy scouts, ones perhaps who never joined an organization because they never entirely got through with reading the dictionary.

But who can blame them? Have you seen the size of the S section alone?
