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".

[1620–30; < L aestīvātus, ptp. of aestīvāre to reside during the summer (akin to aestīvus of or relating to summer); see -ate 1 ]
Has anyone kept track of how many vacations they have had since November?
i have posted more than once a summary of vaca destinations. Bams girls would be hard pressed to do a one pager on what i did on my summer vaca: england, france, italy, russia, africa, montana, grand canyon, Denver, Martha’s Vineyard. i may have omitted one or two, but that’s most of it.
Yellowstone, Camp David, and NYC. We have spent four days on vacation away from home in the past year. It’s enough to make me a little envious.
oh for sure it’s to be envied, but it almost smacks of gluttony in a way. or a fear that if they do not do every single thing, take advantage of every single opportunity within this first year, that it will slip away somehow.
ooooooh look at grimmy taking a vaca!!!
I don’t even see it as getting in there before it’s too late....I think they believe they can do anything they want - there is no other explanation for a “green” president to spend that much money and use that much fuel to go somewhere for one night
I just saw that..... my son will be excited - he doesn’t miss the show!
And a long overdue vaca, I might add.
well i have read that Mark Levin did it long ago and Michael Savage and WND also exposed him some time ago. that is fine, but it is GLENN who got it before the populace in a visible, easy to understand way. we need many diff voices singing the same tune, but the loudest one does the most good.
I’ll take 2 for 1000, Dave.
The congress critters estivate at the expense of the tax payers. Then again, that might be their natural state.
Where is the party for the weekend birthday?
Happy Belated Birthday, Texan5!
are you wantin’ your cake?
Only if it has lots of buttercream icing! Then I’ll eat it too!
Yes his show is on my must DVR list.
I am more worried about the safety of Glenn Beck than theOne and only.
