Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD.
Nancy Pelosi has practically trademarked the phrase "culture of corruption" in her criticisms of the Republican Party, but the Chicago Democrat Party Crime Syndicate is the quintessence of political corruption.

No pushing at the door please!

Get to class, you slackers! I've opened a new classroom, but Miss Rika has the gradebook. So if you're looking for a grade you'll have to ping her. Miss Slippy is pretty generous with the plusses if you compliment her shapely legs, so you might try submitting your homework to her instead. My secret for getting extra plusses on my A+ from xs will remain a secret between me and her, so you're on your own if you want her to review your work.

Great usage of the word, even if it doesn't quite technically meet the qualifications for a grade (supposed to be related to a news item, etc.) but I'd still give it an A+.

Good morning!!!!
I received a quintessential example of "out of the mouths of babes" in my email this morning....I've been waiting for the class to open so I can share!!!
Subject: Somebody raised their child correctly.
One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher
was going to explain evolution to the children.
The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God up there?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there.
Possibly he just doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: Tommy, do you
see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school,
she possibly may not even have one!
(You Go Girl!)
FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT" II CORINTHIANS 5:7
Don't forget to pass this on! I love this one. Everyone should send
this to everyone they know, especially today with prayer restricted
in schools.

According to my computer models (and CJ) we are still about two weeks premature for a PMS Alert.

Yeah, I was about to summon the VK on the idiot with his "I've had it with this president" thread, and the mods had booted it by the time I hit the reply button. That was probably about a 35 second response from the time the thread was posted to zotting. Possibly a world record.

I'm going to go off topic today. Yesterday, my second grandchild (first grandson) was born, and I am the quintessence of happiness.
