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".
doppelganger \ˈdä-pəl-ˌgaŋ-ər, -ˌgeŋ-, ˌdä-pəl-ˈ\ • noun
1 : a ghostly counterpart of a living person
2 a : double b : alter ego c : a person who has the same name as another
Example sentence:
If anyone watches Monk, they know Randy was fixated on the doppelganger phenomena when he saw a picture of Frankie DePalma.
Etymology:
German Doppelgänger, from doppel- double + -gänger goer
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

In another 3 years, America will be a doppelganger of her previous greatness....

Scary good post. A+ for you.
xsbrownie’s headmaster just emailed me back to say that xsbrownie’s World History Teacher has no plans to take part in it. he is in charge of the HS students but taught MS social studies last year, so he knows exactly what sort of fringers we are, so i felt comfortable asking him. In the past he has complimented xsbrownie on being the only person with her particular political viewpoint and defending it well and without fear and urged her to continue to do so.
We’re already there! A for you, F- for zerobama.
I’m glad you accept visual entries!
They replied they were really sorry that she had waited so long for a black President and this one was such an idiot! They said "blame his white side" ... lol
Sometimes you are you are your own doppelganger.
I thought it was a made for TV mini-series by who I thought was Stephen King but it’s.
/sarc
No one listens to him anyway. A+ for you.
The "consarnit" serves a similar roll to what most hotel calls a concierge. This hotel happens to be the southern home of the doppelganger gang. The doppelganger gang is a group of Republicans that who run for office like a conservative but let there doppelganger show up in Washington and vote.
They are hilarious! They kept saying “it has to be such a disappointment to finally have a black President who is ... they filled in various things about how he is tanking and even said it took George Bush 5 years to be as unpopular as Bambi is after 8 months
On my way to try to collect owed money from a customer-
Does Obama have a doppelganger?
He might or he might not
But the way he flips and flops
Whenever things get really hot
Suggests that is his strategy
For dodging lots of trouble-
When he gets called on bolshevism
He can blame it on his double
The problem with that, however
Is that he can’t really win-
We’re tired of smoke and mirrors
Obama, and his evil twin
there must be lib head exploding in that listening audience!
btw, i am taking a copy of that gardisil info to the ped ofc with me on friday as i’m sure they will want to inject xsbrownie with it. in case they are unaware of Dr. Harpers interview, i will have it in hand to buttress my reasons for opting out.
Many! They really are entertaining. They have this cast of characters that they bring in daily, including a gay guy that they are constantly joking with - all good fun but hilarious. You would have to hear the entire thing but they are a hoot!
any parent who has a teenage daughter has probably wanted to break up a relationship......and how many working moms cook every night? LOL....the boy is way past his fifteen minutes....even the left is mocking him.
See. I can prove Levi is a liar.
