When one excogitates the IRS and how it has handled it's responsibilities and then the NSA, the realization of impending doom grows stronger.
The endless articles on this administration's polices are mind numbing.

Rise and shine! It’s a new day and the NSA is getting bored with your usual boring phone conversations. Try to liven it up a bit today! It’s SUMMER.

While cogitating over this thread, I pondered how to explain why cogitate and excogitate have the same meaning.

After considerable excogitating, I was unable to come up with a sentence using today's word.

Unfortunately Mr. Smith didn't take the time to excogitate the perils of traveling with a four year old.

It’s time for the government to excogitate Obamacare.
To: norwaypinesavage
You should have excogitated it and you would have thought it through more thoroughly. Only difference I can see. A++

Have either of you read a Sarah Addison Allen book? Garden Spells is a great summertime book. Her books tend to be about an ordinary summer with a slight mystical flair. Enchanting stories for a summer day.
