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”.

Stolid

Adjective

    Having or revealing little emotion or sensibility; impassive: "the incredibly massive and stolid bureaucracy of the Soviet system" (John Kenneth Galbraith).


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....

Though Vladimir’s actions are squalid
Obama’s reaction is stolid
“I’m thinking it through
I know what to do”
His brain, like cement, is a solid

I think it is more of a colloid
His policy just like a hemorrhoid
A gross varicosity
Full of opacity
Looking for more Ocare laws to void.

They showed church people making paczkis last night on the news.

Secret ingredient: bourbon.

Kerry is a horrible pubic speaker - what a boring news conference about such an important topic

Stolid: a term to describe the state of a “firm” stool sample.

I was taught to be stolid when sizing up an adversary who doesn’t know that is not my “real” personality-it has paid off many times...

If Obama practiced being stolid
Instead of going off on a tear
Maybe he’d actually make sense,
And he’d certainly be more aware

Of all that stifled laughter
From every leader who hears
The words that point to having
A blank space between the ears

As he puts his mouth in gear
Before he engages his brain-
Every leader either laughs
Or decides that he is insane...

A+++ Obama tries that on Republicans and they cave, but on the world stage he ends up a chump. Putin does it and nails it. Kind of comical.
