Word For The Day, Thursday, November 4, 2004
Thursday, November 4, 2004 | Slip 18

Posted on 11/04/2004 4:17:28 AM PST by Slip18

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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

New WFTD:

Antinomy– noun

This word is pronounced an-tin-emee

Etymology: French or German.


1) Opposition of one law or rule to another law or rule: contradiction within a law.
2) obs An opposing law or rule of any kind: a law that contradicts itself.
3) (a)a contradiction between two philosophical principles each of which is taken to be true or between inferences correctly drawn from such principles.
(b) A statement embodying an antimony: paradox.
4) An apparent or real opposition, contradiction, contrast or conflict.

Who's that? Do you mean John Kasich, former congressman from Ohio.

Thanks. I don't know why I named him Rich instead of John. Maybe I had a mental block on his first name due to the two johns we just flushed. Yes, I did mean John Kasich.

Omigosh it's still morning...am I the only one who sees the antimony in the liberals asking President Bush how he intends to cure the great divide in this country, following an almost close election? Maybe it's time they looked at the red and blue of this country and ask them why they don't join the rest of us. Sniveling weasel rat bastiches.

I never cease to be amazed at the antinomy of the Democratic party being the "party of the poor" and the fact that it is fueled by the likes of Soros.

I'd be happy with Kasich he's a fiscal conservative, pro-life (but who isn't in Ohio) and just a slight bit mushy on guns but that could be cured. The biggest downside is he was a friend of Gary Condit.

My short list of candidates (in no particular order)

Governor Bill Owens (Colorado)
Governor Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota)
Governor Mark Sanford (SC)
Senator Rick Santorum (PA)

oh Arleen, they better cut off your dangly things
They'll have to find them first! The funniest line I saw in all of yesterday's threads was where one poster reminded the dems that when we say mandate, unlike them, we aren't talking about Barney Frank.

john KASICH? oh no, he is not remotely smart enough to have any sort of role! he is a native Pittsburgher, former congressman from OH, and rumored to have been someone that ran with CONDIDIT on his frolics. i enjoy watching heartland, but he isn't someone that shoudl have any sort of prominent role. he is one the dim side,

annoys the living crap out of me that anyone thinks that WE need to reaching out. Laura Ingraham was saying that she was astounded at the grief counseling being offered to the dems. she was clerking at the Sup Ct in 1992 and mortally depressed and there was no DR PHIL or Dr Joyce Brothers offereing her counseling!

We can't let the media call it a divided country, it's not, it's shifted to the right by 5%.......There were 105 million votes in 2000 this time in 2004 there were 119 million votes and still counting in some states still. That is a net difference of 14 million people.

The democrats consolidated the Nater vote under their column only......not many new votes for them. The Republicans showed an approximate 5% increase on average across the country......The media is going to work hard to bury that fact. Bush has a mandate, he went from down 500,000 votes in 2000 to plus 3.5 million in 2004 which is a 4 million vote increase to Bushs bottom line, and since I've already heard a lib ABC reporter call him a lame duck president.......I pray he shoves his popular vote down their poisonous throats........

In the next few years my hope is that we will be witnessing the final days of the MSM news control on the American electorates view of the world.....I think we have been witnessing the disconnect for many years now.......and I'm looking forward to assisting in it's demise.

By the way Yes-sir Your-a-RAT just died......now maybe the palestinians can get a true leader (although I'm not too hopeful that will happen- they seem to be really good at picking the wrong horse in the race).
