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....

Allow me to apologize in advance for any untoward remarks which I certainly intend to make before the day is over.

Good morning all,

We're back to poetry,

President Bush takes up actor's cues.
Well he fills the great Reagan shoes.
The Dems lose debates,
While George coruscates,
The brave more glory accrues to.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Besides being written with coruscating prose, Freeper Jeff Head's books are becoming more and more eerily prescient.

Bush's coruscation led to Shedd's nomination. Funny, isn't it, how, when the dems controlled the Senate, Shedd wasn't even good enough to be passed from Sen. Leaky Leahy's corrupt committee for a full Senate vote. Now that Republican control is imminent--Voila! Shedd gets through the committee and is approved by the Senate, 55-44. May the spoils of victory continue!
