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....

If the word of the day was vituper in noun form, we could encourage all conservative candidates to "open a can of vituper-a$$" on their liberal opponents and retain the House and regain majority status in the Senate.
