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....
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.

It is unfortunate, that he went so quickly, before he was able to influence enough of those in his wake.Hopefully, everyone in the Second Tier, is paying atention to the way GWB is being handled now.

i would feel so much better, if i thought that somewhere, in some back room, there were some repubs sitting around, every bit as frosted at the crap that the Dems pulled yesterday, dreaming up some retribution. but i don't think they are, and that makes me atrabilious....

That was a pretty funny article.
I've always wondered how libs get away with being so caustic and "deconstructivist" about everything except their own views.
Maybe they're finally waking up from their self-induced hypnosis?

The way they get away from it, or with it, if you will, is because they fail to acknowledge the simple Absolute Truth, about Human Nature.
Ours is the only form of Government founded on the Principle, that man is inherently a fallen Creature. Socialism, Communism et al, believe that man, given the opportunity wii do the right thing and enjoy it.....
