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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of 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....

Isn't being back in that dungeon that some folks call an "office" somehow comforting?

Actually, it is good to be back but that is only because I can then regroup before the next trip.

[SeaDragon]

No Al Shartons, thank god! That would have scared me out of the water.

I did get some good pix so I will let you know when they are ready.

[SeaDragon]

Ah yes, but we know that you feel the same...........

Here's a somewhat interesting review of a book about the history of racism. Here's the most interesting line from the review: "Rather, Fredrickson reports, Muslim slaveholders in Iberia bear the blame for first imparting to Christian Europeans the notion that blacks were inferior to whites and properly suited to slavery - making the conversion in modern times of many blacks to Islam a strange historical irony."

Hell, cut away, She's all P*!ck.

Thoroughly ossified p*!ck, at that.

From The Corner at National Review Online:

"Hillary Clinton says that the current president is "totally irresponsible" for his failure to adequately address the Amtrak situation. She says it "undermines national security.""

[RikaStrom]

[hobbes1]

O.K. Teach...I need to know, which coquettes nom de plume is Eileen Dover ?

[hobbes1]

Speaking of Felaci, O. see above lol.

[TheGrimReaper]

Right... and I think it's irresponsible that the justice system still allows that black-hearted whore from Hell to walk around freely and feather her fetid nest at OUR expense.
Only the firm belief that an exceptionally fiery corner of Hell awaits her allows me to sleep at night.

[Argh]

BWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahaha, thank you!

[Argh]

I refer to that part of Hell as the Hitler Hilton, or Hitler Department. There she'd be Hitler Hilton Hitlery, or whatever.

[xsmommy]

you positively OINK....

[Argh]

I thought the croquettes who are movie fans might be interested in this review of a "chick flick". (God, I hate calling women "chicks". Give me a good old-fashioned "broad" any day!)

[xsmommy]

i am really looking forward to Men In Black II, aren't you Ceej?

Interesting tidbit for us old people from the Arizona Republic, via NRO The Corner:

"Americans age 65 and over spend, on average, about $700 a year on prescription drugs. This is a "crisis," and Congress is tripping all over itself to pick up the tab. But consider all the other senior-citizen "crises" that are going woefully unaddressed. Seniors, on average, spend $1,200 a year on dining out. The elderly could save so much on "blue-plate" specials if only the government paid the tab. Seniors drop $800 a year on furnishings. How many recliners--perfect for pushing back and watching the Golf Channel--go unbought because Congress refuses to help pay this bill? 65-and-overs spend $1,000 a year on entertainment. But we persist in forcing them to pay for their own subscriptions to large-print edition of Reader's Digest…”

Amen.
