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....

I've finally gotten through all the posts.

It's quite a chore, isn't it?

[CholeraJoe]

costume????

Sure. Black suit, white shirt, black tie, sunglasses - voila MIB!

[hobbes1]

No.It's a moil.

Have you seen this crap? 9TH CIRCUIT COURT: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

I live in the 9th's jurisdiction.

[hobbes1]

Yes, I did. LOL. Why didn't AlQueda do us all a favor, and target them while in session.

[hobbes1]

Just think of how nice the World would be, IF a Republcan President had to Re Seat that entire Bench.

[hobbes1]

BTW...(If you haven't...) Perusing post 252, will help ease some of the pain.

[RikaStrom]

OH very clever. A+

[Slip18]

Scratching his back . . . LOL!

[hobbes1]

I love getting Rake marks...

[CholeraJoe]

The author admits to being 57, so it must be xs.

AZ is part of the 9th Circuit, also.

I used to work at the Federal Court in downtown L.A. It's an absolutely beautiful courthouse. There are backstairs that no one knows about unless you've worked there. In some offices on the 4th floor (where I worked), you can climb out a window onto the roof for picnics. It was a great place to work.

I'm truly saddened what has happened to the Pledge of Allegiance. From my reading of the thread, though, it sounds as if the 9th Circuit shot down "Under God." A couple of posters pointed out the "Under God" came in under Dwight D. Eisenhower.

You have sensitive skin, also, Tiger?

[hobbes1]

?chuckle...she ain't gonna like that....haha

[CholeraJoe]

Notice I didn't ping her?

[hobbes1]

Not at all. But if you work up a good enough sweat...And make the Raker ....intense enough...

[hobbes1]

Doesn't matter, she'll scan every post when she gets home, to find out how badly we malign her in her abscence...lol

[RikaStrom]

(drum roll please....)

And the answer is Lena Guerrero!

[RikaStrom]
