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....

Compared to the dems' creed of hating
Bush shines like a gem, coruscating
As the primary season
Proves the libs beyond reason
For November, Bush calmly is waiting

While you miscreants were doing God-knows-what over the weekend, I was working my fingers to the bone on this vanity rant.

[Gabz]

Good morning!

[jigsaw]

You're very welcome, WN.

I have a son who is serving and as I raised him he didn't understand why I'd continually approach people in uniform or veterans with their veteran hats on and say 'thank you.'

Now he does.

My appreciation for your work is sincerely heartfelt.

God Bless.
