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....

Yeah I agree. Seriously Kerry is getting unhinged. I hope Cauliflower Kucinich doesn't bump him out of the race.

[Kerry Go Home]

A 4 judge committee at the Harvard University School of Medicine has determined that John Kerry is the most prolific liar in the history of the United States. Kerry, when informed of the study, said,"Harvard is jealous because I went to Yale.I could have gone to Harvard on a full scholarship....well I wasn't offered a scholarship, but I was accepted...welll I wasn't formally accepted, but I was high on the waiting list....uh,come to think of it, I am not sure I ever applied to Harvard...Do you know I was in Viet Nam"??

[cyborg]

[Kerry Go Home]

There's going to be a political Jeopardy
But the libs can't use mendacity
So conservatives should
Rule in the 'hood
Alex will learn who has perspicacity.

It's the last item on the page. We need a Jeopardy junkie to keep score between the libs and concervatives and give a final dollar count at the end of the week.

[Kerry Go Home]

WE have the perspicacity!!
