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....
qua \KWAY; KWAH\, preposition:
1. In the capacity or character of; as.
2. In so far as
This might be thought a decisive objection to a federal judge's writing about this subject even if the judge writes qua academic rather than qua judge.
--Richard A. Posner, An Affair of State
Etymology: Latin, which way, as, from ablative singular feminine of qui who. Date: 1647

I've got some wonderful Cafe Brit from Costa Rika this morning, as well as some Kona from Hawaii.

And if your standards are a little lower, I've got some house blend from Starbucks as well.

I've also swiped some Kahlua and Bailey's from camle's wetbar and will be happy to envigorate your coffee with a shot of each if you like.

qua duck, it is probably a dang duck. There are those saying the saying might apply to the Beltway
sniper , being a ME terrorist, as well. I am still undecided and think the odds are even up, but at least the officials are not totally discounting it, because that would be disingenuous.

If
Leaky Leahy would behave
qua a statesman rather than
qua a puppet of perverse purveyors of partisan political pandering to loony left special interest groups, there wouldn't be such a judicial logjam and shortage of federal judges.
