Tuesday, May 02, 2006, STALEMATE
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....

My husband told me last evening that no employees where he works took the day off on Monday to march or make a statement-I guess they thought twice about how it would look for them support illegal aliens coming into this country.
I've got a long drive today, so I'm getting an early start-I'll come to class later...
