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".
prosaic
adj ;pro·sai·cal·ly adv. ; pro·saic·ness n.
1: not fanciful or imaginative; "local guides describe the history of various places in matter-of-fact tones"; "a prosaic and unimaginative essay" [syn: matter-of-fact] 2: lacking wit or imagination; "a pedestrian movie plot" [syn: pedestrian, prosy, earthbound] 3: not challenging; dull and lacking excitement; "an unglamorous job greasing engines" [syn: commonplace, humdrum, unglamorous, unglamourous]

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. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Little change likely in state salaries
The headline is so misleading as to not even be funny. I'm sorry for being synical, but I don't see why the Governor of the 2nd smallest state in the nation should have the 4th highest gubernatorial salary in the country. And I would say the same thing if the incumbent was a Republican.
A+++
Mornin', everybody ! Happy Monday!
Texas rainbox from my back yard last November:
cool! yunz got tejano leprechauns down there?; )
Now excuse me, but where were these people (INLDUING YOUR FAVE overdue for a dirtnap candidate) during the election in their own country? Oh that's right.....the only voting irrgularities they see are those they blame on Republicans.......
Biden team reports few irregularities
with each passing year, I realize more and more why hubby was annoyed with me when I made him hit the brake pedal not the gas pedal when Biden stepped off the curb in front of our vehicle.
I got email!!!!!!!!!
But alas, I can't open the attachment.
haha! I don't think so. I haven't seen any, anyway. :^D
"Misleading" is right-do they honestly think they are worth that much money?
What is with that michaelmoore's prosaic movie winning any awards at all? It means we have to see his fat butt on tv again.....yuck. Even with a haircut and a fancy suit he is still disgusting.
I sure hope so...this morning I have to run son to a drs. appointment. Would have much rather run back to bed...it's cold and foggy out there...
A+++ Bill Oreilly made the point that other than michael medved, all film critics are lefties, are going to buy into that crap, so of course, the fatMM will win awards if they are the ones deciding.
While the majority may think so........I sure don't.
It actually has been amusing watching this entire debate unfold.....particularly since I'm now watching it from the outside.
How to Fox-proof your cable box
It's a very short article, but you've got to read it to believe it.
"Fox Proof"
That is hilarious! That is true paranoia-those people need industrial strength tinfoil...
hilarious.
John Kerry's prosaic speeches put his listeners into a deep coma.
A+++ neither coma nor death will keep them from the polls... ; )
I'm off to work then the photo place...
what a ridiculous waste of leftie $$
I agree, Ti that it is a waste of money.....but as long as it's lefty money..........
But speaking of money, hubby just called and told me about a really cool, very slick, very professional ad he heard on the D.C. radio station he listens to while on the road. It was for the FReeper Ball!!!!!
