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”.
Lugubrious
Adjective
lugubriously, adverb
lugubriousness, noun
[From Latin lgubris, from lgre, to mourn.]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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. ;-)

So, you win by being smarter.
In my post to you on yesterdays thread, Roberts walked away from the store with the Cashbox, and left Obama holding the Baloney.....
Heres another.... <
What point is a limited commerce clause when the end-around of the power to tax is now affirmed?
The Commerce Clause abuse has emanations an penumbras that hide in the dark.
Using the Power to Tax, is already nearly unlimited, except as a Political question, Roberts made that point.
Of the two, would you rather have Congress readily passing you hidden costs, or Politicians having to tax you?
That video keeps locking up my computer and it won’t play sound. It must have overloaded their server.
LOL
It’s cute. “I’m a farmer and I grow it!”
My auto mechanic is the father of a friend, he’s cheap and reliable AND he’s moving to Tennessee as soon as his house sells. Dang, I am going to miss him.
Let us not turn lugubrious
Over what we already knew
Could easily go either way
And embolden either crew
Now that it is another tax
It becomes a new ox to gore-
Of the words you can think of
Is there one that is hated more?
With all the endless legal bits
To be refused and rejected
It is time for us to cowboy up
And get someone sensible elected
So Obamacare doesn’t have massive new bureacracies and regulation that will cost Americans tons of money? If all that is OK because Congress has the power to tax, then we’re done for.
It’s not an either/or question.
It was amazing how the attitude went from salubrious to lugubrious in a matter of moments, as it was announced that the mandate was “struck down” and then not really…
The level of ugliness being displayed by the ‘rats in their rhetoric (it is constitutional, MF, etc...) has most of the rest of us boiling, and that is not good for them, any more than it was in 2010-my fangs are out, and so are those of everyone I’ve talked to-locked and loaded, and praying that this will not make what little work we have go away.
Just say no.
I had one like that and I searched a different source. Try this:

I think it is getting a lot of hits. But, I just played this one smoothly 30 secs ago.
Craig Ferguson...Wasn’t he the one that did the sketch about Sarah Palin when she was governor and called her “sexy librarian”? That was hilarious.
Perry and Abbot have made it pretty clear that they aren’t going to rush to give more people medicaid benefits, since they are not obligated to do so-I hope lots of people who wanted that will leave Texas and go to states that have more free stuff, and good riddance.
Thats exactly the point, Roberts is saying beware who you elect to tax you. He saved us from the commerce clause which your rank and file American doesn’t know from a hill of beans. Congress is going to screw us, we can better deal with the open and obvious screwing, at the ballot box.
As a legal beagle friend of mine said "Note the juxtaposition of the strict reading of I:8 enumerated powers in the Arizona case on Monday, then the broad reading of I:8 enumerated powers yesterday..."
The good news, if there is any is we can just treat it all like the fraud of a game that it is.
And more importantly becareful who you elect to appoint Supreme Court Justices.
And “it’s a tax” is now a punchline, to excuse anything.
I think John Roberts is likely every bit as conservative as you are, and infinitely more knowledgeable about the Constitution. Do your part, elect the right politicians.
I know what Roberts is saying about elections having consequences, and beds having been made we need to lie in them.
But if absolutely anything can be done by the gov’t as long as a “penalty” is associated with it, we have been “saved” from nothing.
This “tax” empowers the secretary of HHS to intrude into every decision that a doctor makes with his patients.
That’s not at all like saying “you buy tires, you pay a federal tax.”
Maybe he closed the door on future expansion of the commerce clause, but he ripped the roof off of the entire structure if this 2,000 page grant of power to HHS is a “tax.”
