March 22, 2007, Thursday, CORRIGIBLE

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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.

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.

If the Drive-By Media were corribible, then they would acknowledge that their speculation that GOP operatives were behind the Hillary 1984 ad for Obama was GROSSLY INACCURATE

So does the guy shoot a deer and then look down and say "hey that's turning me on" or does he say to himself "let me go kill something so I can hump"?

Cause that's two different strains of crazy.

It would appear to be the latter based on his PREVIOUS CONVICTION of a similar offense:

He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it.

At least he didn't ruin a perfectly good homemade apple pie.

speculation abounds at the edwards presser later today! will edwards announce the end to his run for the president or is he continuing? - cause that would make it a corrigible campaign if he did.....otherwise it is still incorrigible.....and will anyone bother to go to find out?

So, would you rather have to (1) eat a slice of that pie, or (2) play a song on that flute?

I meant to say: "I'm glad some of the teachers don't count off for spelling."
