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".
co·mi·ty\ˈkä-mə-tē, ˈkō-\, noun
1. a: friendly social atmosphere : social harmony
b : a loose widespread community based on common social institutions
c : comity of nations
d : the informal and voluntary recognition by courts of one jurisdiction of the laws and judicial decisions of another
2. : avoidance of proselytizing members of another religious denomination
Example sentence:
When asked by a fundraiser attendee about civility in the Senate, Coburn reportedly said: “There’s no comity with Harry Reid. I think he’s an absolute asshole.”
—Erin Durkin, NY Daily News, October 28, 2013
Etymology:
Latin comitat-, comitas, from comis courteous, probably from Old Latin cosmis, from com- + -smis (akin to Sanskrit smayate he smiles). First Known Use: 1543
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

Jim Hightower? What a half dozen went to Prison?
Government is the most pernicious form of organized crime.
Nationally, as well as on a state level
How about Arlington Stadium, where the Rangers play.
I never take politics personally! Especially not with exceptional people!
The mayor of Ft Lee resigned?
The biggest peddlers of corruption were active when I was a kid-Billy Sol Estes, Bobby Baker, and the king of them all, LBJ-I was told by my dad he had mob connections to rival those of JFK and Nixon put together-but he still would have been small time in NY/NJ-and certainly Chicago, would he not? Hightower can’t compare to those, either...
No, the reject on FNC said it earlier. I just got done doing a little research
I need to pick up a marked color chart from a customer-be right back...
Secondarily, the mag Reason, published the emails. This is an orchatrated incident.

I think he was a prosecutor is his earlier life. Just finished a run in the freezing rain and it was just what I needed. I feel great. It was dry when I started, then stinging ice and now it’s just rain with a little ice. Timed it just right.

But every Republican is going to say accountability, responsibility, firing, Benghazi,Irs,DOJ.
Wow. Haven’t seen the vid but taking the kid seems harsh doesn’t it?
Cool. I never get one that big in the yard, except on rare occasion. Maybe 2x. 6 is. Usually the limit.
And you see T5, a rock ribbed conservative’s reaction to the mafia image.
As a temporary measure until they sort it out, I don’t think it’s harsh. This isn’t some 12 YO kid acting up and swearing. This is teaching a toddler to say vile things when he can’t know any better.
Can I mambo dogface to the banana patch?

Figures. They took the Appalachia story out behind the paywall one day after I was referencing it.

He’s a Law and Order conservative like Nino.
I abhor those.

And when it works.
Bye bye beltway Republicans, hello Cruz,Rand, and their disciples.
