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 the janitor’s closet for safekeeping. No one knew my secret, but there it is. 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 to A++++ or a quadruple minus F, depending on my mood. .

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Yes, we’re all here. No lumpen today.
RULES: You must know how to read and write. Comprension only counts as a portion of your grade.
I'm sorry if I didn't get all of the new students. I didn't keep track of all y'alls.
We’re getting FOG in the morning. Never seen it here. Saw lots of it in So.Cal. I say it’s Global Cooling. Do you think I’ll get some kind of an award?
i agree with you, and i think it’s entirely possible. Bill O asked Fred thompson tonight if he had to bet his house on obama or hill as the candidate, who would he pick. he hesitated and said hillary. he knows them and what they are like
sounds like a fine trade for all concerned! xshub’s IT guy came over on Saturday and provided tech support for all of our computers, added RAM and put on WORD 2007. we want this guy so come live with us, bc #1 he is very cool adn #2 he can make computers do anything and can help us understand them!
I was getting dinner ready and missed it. Dang it.
When I was in court, I had the 98 and a laptop which I still have. It’s just bandaged all over with duct tape. LOL! I only needed the court reporting program, the games programs and the trading programs. That was it. I learned a little here and there from my brother, but that was it.
Then when I met Cyber, there was so much to learn computerwise. Don’t you remember us so many years ago practicing our HTML and having the room hosed out because we had made a mess of it? And the room had to have less than 150 or so posts? LOL! Those were the days, my FRiend!
But Cyber has been in the computer industry for so long. Before I had met him, he made his own computer. I kept breaking it, and that’s the reason I brought one of mine out here. He couldn’t believe all the programs I had but had never used. I didn’t know how, and I refuse to read those danged books. I’m asleep by the first sentence.
I always wondered about that.
But as Mark Steyn said “in a world where John Edwards can beat Hillary, who needs Rudy?”
I just want to be the first to wish you both a very happy TDHLBDD*
*The Day Hillary Loses By Double Didgits.
i haven’t been over to rudybotland to see how they’re doing, i am sure they are still guzzling the ONLY RUdY CAN BEAT HILLARY KOOLAID.
Look on the bright side. All the time the spend at Rudybot central is less time they spend volunteering at Planned Parenthood....
OH, what a beautiful morning,OH, what a beautiful DAY!
gotta send the link to xsteen for that one!
listening to both Huck and Mccain talk about immigration, they try to use the right buzz words, but the underlying sentiment is very much pro illegal. When mccain was questioned on it recently he said he would hate to have to call a soldier serving in iraq and tell them they were deporting his parents. that is just STUPID, how many of those would there possibly be? so we should let all illegals stay bc there are some with progeny serving in iraq. he can try to say the right things but when he makes comments like that, his underlying sentiment comes through and i don’t trust it.
Kewl!
What I’d like to see, is a TShirt that looks like an authentic Hillary! shirt, but has that Baggy eyed photo from Drudge on it....
Well we could make some up and sell em. Make a lot of money.
Sadly, given the performance of her campaign, she is already screwing us out of $$$$ without having to raise our taxes..../chuckle
Yup the Hillary t-shirts are a rapidly depreciating asset.
LOL
As was pointed out above, the Anti-Hillary business model is not fairing so well as a campaign rationale either....
If you are Republican anyways....
Although we may have found a new underserved market of Hillyhaters, we call them 70% of all Democrats. LOL..
