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....


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

New WFTD:

Lefties are all solipsists. And too solipsistic to realize it.

i loved both of your homeworks

Thank you. I try not to read the thread before I post so that I won't be influenced...it looks like Truth and I were on the same wavelength, except my post represents different bodily fluids.

You are welcome.

Here's another twist in the strange story about the wife beating county recorder Pat O'Malley who was almost defeated in socialist Cuyahoga County by Tim "the good" O'Malley.

From the above linked article

The warrant also mentioned O'Malley's brother, Cleveland Councilman Michael O'Malley, seeking any correspondence between him and the various parties in the deal and proof of any transfer of money to him exceeding $200. The search warrant for the computers reveals that the FBI also is looking for "material containing child pornography."

Earlier this month, O'Malley's wife, Vicki, was ordered to turn over a tool box that belongs to her husband. The tool box may include "evidence relating to the possession of child pornography," according to a subpoena.

Another Democrat pervert.

Throw in wife-beating and you've covered all of Pat's hobbies.

The settlement called for Eller Media to dismantle more than 700 inner-city billboards. In return, City Council approved legislation that created a dozen vastly more lucrative sites along interstates. Eller was allowed to erect billboards on half the sites.

The content of the billboards wasn't an issue. In fact, this is the first I learned about his shady billboard dealings. The media mostly covers the wife beating, and now kiddie porn. I had some serious schadenfreude hearing about that this morning.

By the way, in the article I linked to they mention the CRTC OKing Al-Jazeera to be shown in Canaduh. But they mention that no cable distributors are carrying it. Somebody up here is finally showing some sense.

Moron Moran. Yes but this guy is a much smaller fish. In fact the Dem boss of this town said he might just eliminate the job of County Recorder just to get rid of Pat. Imagine that, a Democrat reducing the size of government, if only by one person....
