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....

The enemy has been engaged, and Saddam just pooped his pants! As we continue our battle, remember why we are fighting. The Eagle is awake and demanding retribution. As our President said, “We will not negotiate!”. We will not forget. Just like we Did not forget to repay those that perpetrated the Attack On Pearl Harbor....

No I didn't get a chance too. I didn't get home until late and missed the worm.

Was it good?

The woman was, as usual, a ranting, raving lunatic.
O'Reilly finally gave up on her, saying "Congresswoman, I'm just not getting through to you!".
Sheila seemed to be unable (suprised?) to shut her ignorant mouth long enough to hear any of O'Reilly's questions. It was thoroughly shameful, disgraceful, and embarrassing to anyone living in Houston, or TX for that matter.

My last word on this subject (for now):
SHEILA's COMPETITION!

When Congress is in session, the taxpayers are likely to get congressed.

No doubt about that, then they come back and congress the taxpayers yet again.

Dang tardy all week. Well here's one to for the grade books Mistress Bella.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee should go congress themselves for their atrabilious ways and for awarding the prize to the adventitious former president Jimmuh Carter. A man best known for coddlling dictators like the ever flagitious Fidel Castro. Proving once and for all that this silly award, named after the inventor of dynamite, is an epiphenomenal event, to say the least.

The only kissing getting done is you kissing your hard earned money goodbye. And it's even worse up here.
