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.

xshub was all over this yesterday. and he used to WORK on the senate judiciary committe, in fact he was there for Bork and Thomas and Ginsburg. Arleen needs to be threatend or bypassed.
Great word,subbie.
i think you are giving arleen too much credit.
i see your point about the rationale for W's support of him, but arleen cannot possibly sink too low. they may have kept him for the majority # and intended to cut him out if need be. i guess we will see.
Utah,Oklahoma,and Nebraska. Not a single Blue County in those three states.
heck VA, even in the norht looks very red!
Hey, I can find myself on that map. I am on the border to PA with a blue spot north (ithica) and east (binghamton)......
The christophobia on the left is always boiling just beneath the surface. Every once in a while, it burps up. I saw that interview too - it's as if for a second there, I saw that broad's head do a 360 as she was spitting out her hatred for certain people of faith!
HA! good description! George Allen was sounding good just now about judicial appts. i like him, my former governor.
My former governor, Pete DuPont is coming up next!!!!
