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....
claque \KLACK\, noun:
claques; plural
1. A group hired to applaud at a performance.
2. A group of fawning admirers.
He cultivated the "Georgetown set" of leading journalists and columnists and had them cheering for him as if he had hired a claque.
--Theodore Draper, "Little Heinz And Big Henry," New York Times, September 6, 1992
Etymology: French, from claquer to clap, of imitative origin. Date: 1864

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD.
Gore's eldest daughter, Karenna Gore Schiff, and first cousin Dawn LaFon, a Latin teacher at White Station High School, also said they want Gore to run again.
Seeing the policy decisions being made on the environment, economic management, education,Social Security and health care "just makes you heartsick," said Schiff. "It makes me think he should go for it again."
"What matters to me is how important it is to support teachers," said LaFon.
The Goron has decided hes back
Rallying with his own little claque
NEA puppet
DNC Strumpet
Al and Company are gonna get smacked.
Gore says he'd 'let it rip' if he runs again

Listening to Fox... he hasn't said so yet, but sounds like the speech is leading to J. C. Watts resigning.
