Great word. Especially bovine pulchritude.

That would be the antonym of pulchritudinous perspicacity.

Hillary has some new scapegoats
Every day for that stunning loss-
The one that should have told her
Americans don’t want her as boss

Instead she consumes more food
And climbs right back on a stage-
A fat broad lacking in pulchritude
Who flies into a screeching rage

If anyone ever dares to suggest
That she just might own blame
For losing and being so bitchy
Many are sick of even her name...

Saw PT for last time in my home. Went from 85 degrees on Tuesday to 87. Was walking down stairs this morning and accidently led down with my good leg, thus stretching my recovering knee to the max. Pain level was about a 3, so all in all not bad. I was quite smug and took an afternoon nap instead of working out on the stationary bike. Back to it tonight, but I wanted a reward.

Hillary is really overweight, but is reputed not to shower as often as most people-the more fat, the more sweat-no wonder she smells bad...
