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....

Dubya,

I believe actual photographs of the couple you identified appear next to the definition of the word for the day.

On Fox Wire last night, Dick Morris superciliously predicted that the Dems would pick up 5 seats in the Senate this election. (Sorry no link)

Homework:

Red Skelton, returning to fame because of his very appropriate comments on the Pledge of Allegance, would be appalled at today's filth in comedy on TV.

But he, unlike today's liberals in Hollywood, was a supersillious performer, writer, and person.

Seeing absolutely NO downside to it, I voted a STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN ticket in early voting last week.

It seems the only question remaining is:
Will republicans outnumber dead, illegal, incarcerated and non-existent dimocrat voters tomorrow?
