Word For The Day, Monday, 10/1/12
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".
behoove; verb used with object
1. to be necessary or proper for, as for moral or ethical considerations; be incumbent on: It behooves the court to weigh evidence impartially. 2. to be worthwhile to, as for personal profit or advantage: It would behoove you to be nicer to those who could help you.
Etymology: before 900; Middle English behoven, Old English behōfian to need ( behōf behoof + -ian infinitive suffix)
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
okay, i give them the irreversible impression. but will that motivate dems/independents, who really don’t give a shit about politics generally, out of the house and into the polls? because our side has the enthusiasm. other than the hardcore purist nutballs, of which i know NONE IN REAL LIFE, every conservative i know is terrified and agitated and ready to go vote from now. while people might say oh yeah, romney sucks, are they motivated enough to get out and vote for obama come hell or high water?
And I would add that the visual enthusiasm indicators, stickers and signs are very lacking in my area.
It is raining off and on here-love it...
Is that a good mystery story? If it is, I’ll buy it-I love mysteries...
It ill behooves his minions
To help Obama duck and cover-
Or treat the drive-by media
Like a trusted, longtime lover
Even if that’s how they appear,
Are they checked out as they leave?
A tiny recorder can be concealed
With the intention to deceive
Something is eerily familiar with
Obama’s bunch and all their fixin’-
Next he’ll throw staff to the lions
Like fellow liar Richard Nixon...
He's the president of the future, and we are stuck with him today. Excellent Mark Steyn column.
I mean come on, there were alot of egos in that bunch , Gingrich, De Lay, Dick Armey, etc. Kasich got so much attention because he's the one of the guys if not thee one that was working to balance the Federal budget.....which everyone in the media seemed to treat it as some sort of miraculous event.
Course you and I both know that it's not a miracle, just the hard work of a few educated individuals that actually know that Government is about Government service to the people NOT the people serving the government......but preach to the choir here......sorry about the rant but that felt good to say......
Anyway, Scarborough is all about getting his own butt shined by anyone who would listen to him. Sort of like a sign above his head that says
I never paid him much mind as a congressman and have never seen his show but always wonder when someone goes bad what caused it. Now the fairy who wrote blood sport and works for media matters we know why he went bad....
It’s a good book!! A++++
Does OH have college bumper stickers? I have a friend coming over tonight to pick up the load of HOKIES for Romney Ryan to put in care package for her son, who’s xsboys BFF. There were George Mason U Patriots for RR and Wahoos for RR. Think it’s a great idea. Seems Ohio state would be worth having some.
Thank you!
Good one!
In the good news column, I'm seeing Romney commercials again, finally. And they are pretty good.
I need to know the Ohio State Hero and I need a brochure from the state. Can you help?
Anecdotal evidence from the people’s republic of falls church, Janice was just here and reported that there are lots of Romney signs in FC! That is unheard of. Also got an email from my friend in Ocala, FL, she’s a visiting nurse and said her workplace is all enthusiastic for Romney, except the blacks. And she sees no obam signage there.
Ohio State really loves Bo Schembechler.
If you are interested in Asta’s Book, try buying the kindle edition. I just purchased Tree of Hands by the same author, despite it saying it was not available to buyers in US. It’s showed up on the iPad anyway.
We liked LLLLLoyd Carr....
