Word For The Day, Tuesday, September 8, 2009
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".

Pittsburgh Filmmakers is seeking the best G-20-themed Japanese verse to display on the marquee of the Harris Theater, Downtown, during the summit.
The organization would have preferred to display the title of the movie the theater was showing at that time, but like numerous establishments near the summit site, the Harris won't open during the Sept. 24-25 conference.

Talk about double standards.................
I wonder if any GOP congressional members has the backbone to demand a similar investigation in this case? (crickets)
well, isn’t that little ditty interesting.
and one might note that the dems alone complained about Bush.....it’s the FOLKS in an uproar over the bams.
however, theOne and only says we are just all wee weed up.
Heck, I don't even remember what I did THIS Summer -- let alone LAST Summer.
You can, but you could go blind if you aren't careful.
Freudian Slip?
And speaking of slips, has anyone seen Miss Slippy lately?
Kudos to you for posting two pulled links this morning before 9:00 am central time. That has to be a record.
I don’t know what the obama cleavage thread was but it was pulled with a “no thanks” comment by the mod.
The “What dems did when GHW Bush spoke at a school” thread was pulled as a duplicate thread.
it was a thread with pix of Michelle returning from vaca. Guess the commentary became too offensive.
So, does this mean that The Zero’s phone call to “encourage” students today will estivate them towards state-ownership of their minds?
Or is it just coincidence that they will hear his estivation right before he needs their parents vote for health care socialization?
You shouldn't drink so much m'dear, it has a tendency to do funny things to the memory ;^)
Dang the thread was pulled....what was this one?
Thread was pulled. I missed it.
Our first lady returning from one of her myriad summer vacas this past weekend, cleaving up a slight storm.
It’s all copacetic, Vastie. I have Ray Bans. ;)
