Good Morning Students. Welcome to class!
Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book; the whip and chair.
I don't have an example this morning, Teach overslept!

The democrats keep showing they are contiguous to the devil in recent news. Look at the Dark Lord himself. Wesley Clark,
who wants to go boldly where no man has gone before and most likely blast the Earth away from orbit in his Death Star. Then you have Howard Dean who WILL explode soon and is now nicknamed Pyro.
Here is a picture of Wesley Clark showing up at a press conference:
