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....

Good Morning Students. Welcome to class!
Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book; the whip and chair.
"I came to present the film that I produced on Che Guevara and I am very happy to be in Cuba," Redford told Reuters before the private screening at Havana's Charles Chaplin cinema theater.
I suppose Redford thought this bit of tripe about Che Guevara to be a coruscating, scintillating bit of filmmaking, but honestly, it sounds like another propaganda piece by a hack. I am so very tired of Hollyweird and its constant cooing to communist countries
and their heros.
A hacked-up has-been,
Coruscating he is not.
Idiot Robert.

Hey Students,
I'd like to introduce you to Warrior Nurse. He was at CPAC and does scathing impressions of the democratic nominees. He also did one of McCain that nearly had me falling out of my chair.
Warrior Nurse, meet WFTD, they're all a but nuts so you should get right along with them. :-)
It was a pleasure meeting you and hope to see you next year.
