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.

ann coulter, laura ingraham, thomas sowell, ben stein, mark steyn, peggy noonan.....but hey, they obviously have not read that holy grail, the vaunted WOLFSON report and are just reacting emotionally.
Not yours, Miss Slip!!
You and me both.
Oh, sorry, I thought it was kind of like in here. Friendly fire, so to speak.
They'd look really cute on you, Arghie! LOL!
Could be...
Hasn't been friendly at all.
Some things can be said for my having been a clueless noob back then.
*chuckle*
I honestly didn't know that.
You? I only knew local politics and presidential politics. Nothing in between. Sheesh. Did I ever get awakened from that state of mind.
The extremes are all present. From the Bush Bashers "Jeb and W killed her" to the "Terri is a canned ham and ought to die" crowd. Then there are those of us who think this was the fault of one man with help, Michael Schiavo.
Some of the threads have been flame wars.
I'm with you CG. Which is why I stay here. There's no place like home. ;)
Yeah.
Back during the 'badjoe' blowup, I was on the original run of the Dimensional Doors thread.
A good portion of the original crew of that strange thread were involved in one way or the other either as friends of the major combatants, or blundering in and asking "what is going on".
Oddly, I was there and still cannot fully say exactly what was going on.
And I'm not inclined to investigate enough to say for sure either.
DD lost a few people due to that dust scrap.
I'm a mean old coot so I go.
Oh spare me. You are such a storyteller! There is nothing mean about you.
they are doing themselves up real proud back there....
but it has been very instructive. lets you know exactly where everyone stands.
SG are you clicking ruby red slippers? ; )
WPPFF?
our Pope is failing, urinary tract infection, weight loss, high fever......I am sad.
