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....

"Because I don't fit #2 any more I can no longer have a consuelo - although I did for quite some time...Oh brother, interjecting itself crudely right between the twin mouths of innocent and purity ....
Here comes another perfectly sapphiric consuelo alert between the coquettery half of the class.
Besides, you can't have consuelo right now regardless of how tightly she may fit .... She's xsexmommy's bride and joy, and fully a third of the 3 requirements for success.

30, .30, .30.... You used FR as a subject for your homework. You've been here before, homework should be Current/News and Events (Not FR and not personal stuff)
Wanna try again?

Beijing said Monday that Chen's comments, in which he also strongly suggested Taiwan's status as a country, were leading his people to "disaster". Shouldn't China be thrilled Taiwan is giving up her rightful claim to the mainland.

Sweet isn't it? I hope more and more of these rulings come down from the bench. We need a lot more of these. The governments taking of private land...an in many more cases more subtle than outright condemnation need to be halted.

I tried, he's hopeless.

China should be afraid. Very, very afraid.
Why do the Chicoms think America has been boasting we are now capable of fighting a war on two fronts simultaneously? God bless dubya....both of 'em!
To: coteblanche
To: dubyaismypresident
President Bush practices "Dollar Diplomacy" in the true sense, unlike his predecessor, the unmentionable X. X42 took dollars from the Chicoms to pad his political coffers; the diplomacy he offered in exchange was free reign. Bush has extended the hand of America in diplomatic exchange - free trade - but has made no bones about our moral differences, nor our superior might.
