Word For The Day, Thursday 10/24/02

Posted on 10/24/2002 6:23:02 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

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....


ebullient \i-BUL-yuhnt\, adjective:

1. boiling up or over; hence,
2. joyously unrestrained; manifesting exhilaration or excitement, as of feeling; effervescing.

Etymology: From Latin ebullio , ebullire , ``to bubble, to boil up,'' from e , ``out of, from'' + bullio , ``to boil.'' Bullio is also the source of the verb to boil.

To those who thought Moose was a fool--he ain't
The Maryland cop is ebullient
But his top prize-the slammer
Not so, Alabama
Where death ain't unusual or cruel-ient

My sentiments on the sniper arrest echo those in post #12. Stories like this make me wonder if this is the beginning of the end of this frightening episode, or merely the end of the beginning.

However, if they have indeed nabbed the right guys, we can all still feel decidedly ebullient!

I am hoping that our ebullience at the capture of is not premature and that they are the extent of the threat, not just a portion of it.

Looking like terrorism, or maybe we should change the term to something more accurate, like asymetric warfare.

Speaking of Ass Y metric warfare, the Commie post looks like its back to its pre watergate take down the Republican President days.

The Headline spells out Illegal Activity, but yet, I wonder if the the Post ever Covered the WHO DB.

it's very hard to keep track of this. i read somewhere on here that there were warnings issued to 50 different cities to be on the lookout for something this weekend? unsettling. i started out being relieved this AM but that is kind of dissipating.

The DC part could be over but, it shows us a larger problem.... and it that there are a lot more, Johnny Talibans, like Walker-Lindh, Jose Padilla, and John Muhhamed.

Repeal all laws, in all states, that run counter to the Second Amendment.

Let these @$$holes run around trying to commit jihad in among a populace that is armed to the teeth, and as twitchy as four year old after a double espresso.
