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....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
If today's word has already been used, RELAX!
It's absolutely fabulous.
Kind of racist of her....I'm sure my non-caucasian brethern wouldn't want to see her showing any flesh either.
It's horrible - I agree.
But as long as there is someway the liberals and their media cohorts can connect it with one of their pet projects there will be little outrage.
A case in point that was reported on the 21st of a 13-year-old New Smyrna Beach, FL boy beaten to death by a 15-year-old boy who thought the victim had given cigarettes to the older boy's little brother. There has been nothing in the major media about this. It's what they are teaching in schools - we've got districts teaching the homosexual agenda and programs that teach kids it is OK to be hateful to smokers including adults. But because it is "politically correct" to embrace these attitudes they get no play.
Sorry for my rant, but I've had it up to here with this kind of garbage all the way around.
Of course we've all heard about da$$holes temper tantrum after reading the Washington Post yesterday? What a fool !
I heard Zell Miller, Democrat from Georgia, was quite peeved at him. I wish Miller would switch to GOP.
Here's an excerpt from article yesterday re Zell Miller on the DIMocRATS playing politics with Homeland Security:
But in the short time I've been here, I've never seen such a clear choice as there is on this issue. For me, there are no shades of gray. It is clear cut.Why in the name of homeland security do we want to take power away from the President that he possessed on 9/11?
Power that Jimmy Carter had. Power that Ronald Reagan had. Power that the first President Bush had and power that Bill Clinton had.
Have we lost our minds?
Do you really want to face the voters with that position, that vote writ large on your forehead, like a Scarlet letter? And even larger on a 36-inch television ad two weeks before election day?
NOW and equal rights. Teach young women to act like boys and they do.... and not just the sexual permissiveness.
I remember reading about that. I go through so many news sites, though, that - I'm sorry - I can't remember where I saw it.
You are so right about the homosexual agenda in public schools... it's sickening.
Have you ever told us what your position was on the vegan condom???
May you have a wonderous life together!
