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....
assiduous \uh-SIJ-oo-us\, adjective:

2. Performed with constant diligence or attention; unremitting; persistent; as, assiduous labor.

"We know it was you from this photo copy of your butt," said Tom assiduously.
Saddam Hussein, a wicked cuss,
No help from Saudi, so U.S.,
Alone takes him out.
There's really no doubt,
Dubya proves he's assiduous.
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!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Or, as they say a little further south:
¡Mantengan la fe, mis amigos! ¡Somos los salvadores de la Republica! ¡Ahora y siempre!
For those of us who have been assiduously following the insidious problem of vote fraud, a story like this just confirms my worst suspicions that little or nothing has been done to ensure honest elections since Bush oh-so-nearly got the Presidency stolen from him in 2000. (I will maintain to my dying day that he won the legitimate popular vote!) There are few people who deserve to be tossed out of public life more than Janet Reno, but I suspect she's right about one thing--she got swindled. And this was just the Democrats' warm-up act for what they're planning to pull against Jeb in the general election. In short, meet the new Florida--same as the old Florida. Pretty depressing.
Really slow.
Have you seen this? Funny stuff. College Theme Paper, He vs. She
FL had almost a year and a half to get their voting machines/computers working correctly, and they failed miserably. It's the dangling and pregnant chads all over again.
Well he has earned it.
we've got Bloominidiot in NYC going after private clubs in his smoke ban quest, Veterans clubs about to close because of smoking bans in Weymouth, Mass, Mom & Pop corner shops losing money because of insidious tax hikes on cigarettes. But are the antis happy -NOOOOOOOOOOOO - they want it ALL:
LAS VEGAS! Casino profits could go up in (no) smoke
Is the whole world going NUTS!!!!!!!!!!
I think we both know the answer to that one.... YES!
BTW, A+.
I wonder if Billyboy Xlinton is the father....
