Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
of·fi·cious adj. of·ficious·ly adv. of·ficious·ness n.
adj : intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner; "an interfering old woman"; "bustling about self-importantly making an officious nuisance of himself"; "busy about other people's business" [syn: interfering, meddlesome, meddling, busy, busybodied] Marked by excessive eagerness in offering unwanted services or advice to others: an officious host; officious attention. Informal; unofficial. Archaic. Eager to render services or help others
Etymology: [Latin officisus, obliging, dutiful, from officium, duty. See office.]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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. ;-)

a) Western nations whose economies are booming because of tax reductions have more money to give for relief.
B) This money should be raised not from " stingy" voluntary contributions but from "gratefully given" taxes (which would end the economic boom of western countries)
c) This tax money should then be funneled through the same organization that brought us "Oil for Food" and "What Rwandan Genocide?" because the UN is a more compassionate organization than the greedy western nations who fund it.
D)Christians in particular should give to the UN- but not through their own religious organizations in the name of Christ...after all-it's Christmas...
