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....

The newly elected republicans need to actually DO what they've been promised, rather than merely assume they will any votes in 2004.
The demo's insouciance attitude towards the "regular" American voter is an improtance key to Pelousiance' takeover of the democratic minority.
To: Bella_Bru
this kind of thing never engenders insouciance in me. i am still not clear what happened there.

Thank you!!! I get free drinks, right? ;-)
To: hobbes1
Which is exactly why I'd like to see Cheney "decide" not to seek re-election as VP, and then have Bush ask Condi to be his running-mate in '04. Running for pres as the incumbant VP, Condi would even be more formidable an opponent to hillary.
To: hobbes1
Of course. :-) Now I have to change my profile.
Alex is giving me a time, though. He is only 25, and loves to pint out that next year, I will be 30.
To: xsmommy
You can never be too sure. A+!
To: Bella_Bru
Free drinks all day long, darling.
To: Robert A. Cook, PE
I'll give them a chance, I am hoping for the best as always. A+!
BTW, Kava rules!
To: Bella_Bru
Butt we LIKE your profile.....
(Thought you were a 35 or 36 though ....)
Only 29? Man, I got you the wrong size swimming suit for the next pool party. (Ya think they'll exchange it for something smaller?)

Bush Sends Condi to be COnfirmed as VP IMMEDIATELY in Sept. Make Hillary!ous (and the rest of the Senate Dems confirm her or condemn her just prior to election time, and cast into doubt any negative attack she tries to use, in 08.

Don't you let that vigourous young stuff get away, Miss Bella! You might Miss Whyisa about that, if she ever deigns to show her pimply puss around here again.
(Oh, now I'm in BIG trouble...)

Good morning!
Short but sweet: The current lack of insouciance around the halls of the DNC is an amazing thing to behold, and this column sees last Tuesday as only the beginning of the Dems' troubles.
Happy birthday, Bella! Jeez, you're only 29? Have I, a mere child of...uh...something under four decades, I've lost track...become the Senior Citizen of this classroom?
To: white rose
ahem. i am past four decades and there are GRANDPAS in this room....EOD, Robt.... and Grimmy and CJ are certainly OLD Enough but just aren't there yet....

what time should we expect you tomorrow AM.....? ; ) Perhaps at the end of partying tonight (early tomorrow morning perhaps), Miss Bella should open the classroom prior to retiring to bed. Thus an inordinately early class opening in the morning for those of us not on the left coast who will probably be getting up to get ready for work at about the same time Miss Bella is wrapping up her birthday celebrations.
To: xsmommy
So, twoscore is part of your age, and just not a good night out at the bar ?
And I am at least 20 years away from Grandfather hood.
