Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

I guess there was no verisimilitude to the stories of Larry Sinclair being dead, since they appear to have been pulled from FR.

The Obama Regime is characterized by a dearth of competence, honor, and verisimilitude.

I have no idea what is up with some of the Sandusky apologists here on FR. (OK, so there are, maybe 2) Despite the verisimilitude of the grand jury report, they are asserting that this is a media-driven story. I’m sorry, but this bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Duke Lacrosse story and the rush to judgment.

Sadly, most of journalism is verisimilitude, just like propaganda.

Could you call a con man a verisimilidude?

A good weekend for football. The Stillers return to the top, beating the Bungles while the Ravens lose to Seattle.

Pitt returns to mediocrity at 5-5, still with a more-than-theoretical chance of winning the Big East.

And my Jayhawks advanced to the semifinals. They’ll play Friday for a trip to Heniz Field.

verisimilitude: A feeling of great euphoria that causes one to continuously grin. Usually felt after Democrat candidates suffer crushing defeats.

Not to be confused with verisimilication which is a physical condition caused by too many face lifts.

Everything spoken by the Obama, Pelosi, Reid trio lacks verisimilitude.

There is no verisimilitude of truth in the new TLC show depicting muslims as normal. It is just propaganda from the channel that brought us the tawdry "toddlers and tiaras" as well as the ever so lo-rent "my big fat gypsy wedding".

(shudders in horror)

There is also no verisimilitude in the rumor that I am going to work today!

Unlike Barack Obozo, I have a birth certificate with verisimilitude.

The idea that obama is the President of the United States is totally lacking in verisimilitude.

obama neither looks, acts, nor functions like a President or even an American.

I’ve seen the term verisimilitude used a lot with respect to role-playing games, particularly the fantasy genre. It’s completely unreasonable to expect “realism” in such a game, but “verisimilitude” substitutes as having the semblance of realism within the framework of the setting.

Looks like this film aimed for some verisimilitude, after all:
