Word For the Day

felicitate verb
Pronunciation: 'fi-lis-a-tate

Latin felicitatus Date: 1605

1. : to make happy


felicitious: adjective, very well suited or expressed

felicity: noun;  the quality or state of being happy

felicific: adjective; causing or intending to cause happiness


Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

 

The Democrat fiasco in Minnesota at the Wellstone Memorial has been dissected and commented upon ad infinitum by various and sundry pundits and talking heads, but one of the most touching and felicitous is the piece today by Peggy Noonan. As is her wont, she takes it to the deep gut, personal level, a level upon which all can relate. Here she writes in the voice of Paul Wellstone, from the great beyond.

Let me tell you, when I watched the memorial and how you acted, I wasn't alone. Jack Kennedy was here, and you're not going to like this, but he said what he said the day Nixon had his meltdown in '62. He looked at you and said, "No class."

John Adams is here too. He turned away from you in disgust. "Faction!" is what he said. It was no compliment .

I brought in Tom Terrific's fireplace.

I also have never thought of the Croqs or Coquettes with computers in front of them. More like frogs in the Croqs' pockets.

The Democrats, led by former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno and U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek, said in the complaint that GOP officials unfairly benefited from new rules the Democrats learned of only after it was too late to submit forms

A+ what a bunch of whiners!

Xs, I would've submitted that Peggy Noonan essay as homework myself, if you hadn't beaten me to it. There's no question that the lady has a felicitous writing style...

...and there is also no question that stories like this show how little the Dems are taking her wise advice to heart.
