animadversion \an-uh-mad-VUR-zhun\, noun:

1. Harsh criticism or disapproval.
2. Remarks by way of criticism and usually of censure; adverse criticism; reproof; blame.

Etymology: Animadversion is from Latin animadversio, animadversion-, from animadversus, past participle of animadverto, animadvertere, to turn the mind toward, from animus, mind, spirit + adverto, advertere, to turn toward, from ad, toward + verto, vertere, to turn.

A very early good morning, class. Welcome to School!

Jesse Jacka$$'s animadversion earns him a great big STFU award.

Jesse Jackson’s face fills the screen. He's discussing what it will take to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. “Since he’s not gonna volunteer, it means you have to kill Hussein. In order to get to him you’re going to have to kill a lot of innocent people - to get to him. It’s reminiscent of biblical times – killing all those children to get to Jesus.”

Slaves
Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word, live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait
Something must be done, four hundred years

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go, land of goshen
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong, down the Nile
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
I
Rule the midnight air the destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and flood final darkness
Blood
Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

[xsmommy]

have we discussed this? you boys be careful out there....

[hobbes1]

Yes, I almost whacked mine off this morning ; )

[xsmommy]

one has to wonder if he juxtapositioned all of those parts together and got them all in one fell swoop, or if he had to keep on hacking....

[SeaDragon]

LOL I believe he is talking about Herod, trying to get to Moses

That was my thought also.

[xsmommy]

i see that it was the latter...

[LonePalm]

I think he was referring to Herod's slaughter of the innocents at the time of Jesus' birth.

Check out Matthew 2:13-18

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

[hobbes1]

Yes, it generally takes alot of whacking to get it off.

[xsmommy]

ok, i get it now. too little caffeine, he is not the complete and utter boob i thought....; )
