atrabilious\at-ruh-BIL-yuhs\, adjective:

1. 1. Melancholic; gloomy.
2. Irritable; ill-natured; peevish.

Etymology: Atrabilious is from Latin atra bilis, black (atra) bile (bilis). It is a translation of Greek melankholia (see melancholy), from melan-, black + khole, bile. According to ancient physiological theory, there are four principal humors (fluids) in the body: phlegm, blood, choler ("yellow bile"), and black bile. As any one of these predominates it is supposed to determine the temper of the mind and body. Thus an individual with a preponderance of black bile in his system would be atrabilious (or melancholic) by nature.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Well, good early morning for most of you. I tried to hold out until midnight to post, but I am having a tough time staying awake. I'd have waited until morning, but I want to sleep in the extra half hour (yes, I play alarm clock tag for at least 1/2 hour everyday).

The former president is displaying a (typically) despicable behavior by deriding and condemning President Bush both in private and in public ....

.... while her "husband" does the same, but gets paid more for doing it in Europe.

Typical, apairabillyous people.

i tend to get atribilious about this crap. When will we see revanche for all of the BS perpetrated by the Dems? i was ranting to xshub about this last night. i said, what do the republicans in the Senate sit around and talk about when they are alone together? are they as depressed and furious at constantly being HOSED by the dems? or is it just us that go apoplectic?

[hobbes1]

Just us.

morning, loney! that's cute.

OMG, i think i need to lay down, something is terribly wrong. i agree with RICHARD COHEN!!

In the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, I felt, why wait? Since then, I have questioned and probed, wondered and worried, but my bottom line has not changed. For the sake of international law, for the sake of preventing nuclear blackmail, for the sake of ridding the world of a leader with Hitler's megalomania and the weapons to fuel it, war may be the only course. Saddam Hussein is the target. But time is the enemy.

THIS, if nothing else, is a sign of the END TIMES.....
