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....

Greetings to the WFTD Night Shift!
This column makes it all too clear that the supercilious, corrupt Democrat party may well be beyond repair. It's no wonder that their favorite method of winning elections is to stage endless remakes of "Night of the Living Dead" at the voting booths.

Hurl away!!

The dems sound so supercilious
While acting so ignominious
Me they would felicitate
If as
this does state
They lose all their races to us.

I sure hope so!! You saw southcentral los angeles during the riots, I'm sure.... we are tired of supporting them!!
They are trying to scare us with threats of "no police or fire dept", "higher utility rates". That is different than what we have now in what way, exactly??

Cyber's parents made dinner for us last night. They felt sorry for us because we were so exhausted moving all the furniture out of the house.
Now the road is going up. We can take our time moving everything back in . . .
Talked to LonePine last night. He's in Florida going to all the treasure troves there with his wife and kids. They are having a ball. He is so funny! I think he's hooking up with Constitution Day along the way.

Since I missed Thursday and Friday, I thought that I had better show that I can find the words and use them. By the way, the laws of probability are still in full effect.
