;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".
sinecure; noun
1.
an office or position requiring little or no work, especially one yielding profitable returns.
2.
an ecclesiastical benefice without cure of souls.
Etymology: 1660s, "church benefice with an emolument but without parish duties," from Medieval Latin beneficium sine cura "benefice without care" (of souls), from Latin sine "without" (see sans ) + cura, ablative singular of cura "care" (see cure (n.1)).
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.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
drawing for signed caps stuff, i meant to say.
The present- day office of POTUS is not a sinecure.
Golf is difficult.
I love when the towns get into it and support teams. I heard the Empire State Building was lit up in blue and orange for the Isles.
Get the IRS to send my check back. LOL
A+++ but he tries and tries and tries. he made some comment this past weekend in re the Churchill bust, saying how when he goes into his ofc on the weekends, to watch BASKETBALL, he passes a Churchill bust every time. Why does he need to go into his ofc to watch basketball? not enough tvs in the residence? michelle, the girls and mama robinson hogging them all?
will Muriel Bowser have a bet going with the Pgh mayor? does she know about the Caps? Unlikely that the obams will set a toe inside Verizon to see the Caps, and that will make 8 years we have dodged that bullet.
maybe if you were a dem....
Obama treats the White House as if it is his personal sinecure.
I can’t talk hockey with you all because I know nothing about it, but I thought you might be interested in this little factoid, as the talking heads and Trumpsters bray on about “unfairness” in the primary electoral process.
Did you know that there were more Republican votes cast in Wisconsin on our Primary day that there were cast in the entire state of NY in their Primary lasr week? Yet, NY gets 3 times the number of delegates to the convention as WI. Where is the fairness in that?
Furthermore, this deep blue purple state cast 100,000 more votes for Republicans than the Dems cast in their Primary.
i had heard that and of course those who live in Trumpland won’t find that relevant. So much was made of NY and there is a snowballs chance in HELL that Repubs will carry it. They have their blinders on and ear plugs in and it’s full speed ahead to the trumpian cliff.
A+++ Obama’s sinecure, but what in the world is Grandma Robinson still doing living in the people’s house when those kids have not been in need of a babysitter for forever?
Are there any local delicacies that can compare?
that’s what i was trying to think of, and i don’t know what she will offer up. Probably Ben’s Chilibowl, a fave Obams spot.
The apportionment of delegates to the convention is based on US census, number of Congressional districts. There should, instead, be a weighting of each state according to its past performance in presidential elections. States like NY that never go GOP should not have undue influence.
The idea that there are equal delegates that come from minority majority districts that vote 99% Democrat is ridiculous.
it’s above the head of the low info voters though. Trump won NY, that’s the only dispositive fact.
I don’t think there will be any mayors’ bets until the final. Maybe conference final.
Tenured professorships are the new sinecures.
oh yes, indeed they are. and reserved for libs. A+++
That’s hilarious, that he believes a 25 year old is interested in him romantically. It’s love all right, for the Benjamins.
BTW, we are in the End Times. The Catholic Church defines End Time as from Ascension to His Second Coming...so we have been in it all our lives.
Devil with a blue pant suit, blue pant suit, blue pant suit
Devil with a blue pant suit on.
...heading into the ladies' room? LMAO
I love this image, it's making me laugh. Trump in Hillary's blue pantsuit headed into the ladies room...Thank you, Cruz, for this laugh.
