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....

The new Algore we are told,
Will be more real,
Will be more bold.
Without the polls to form his mind
He'll be himself,
Its true! This time.
But if that seems temararious
Remember dems are quite nefarious
So when he prances and dances
With same old fuss,
If we buy this ruse
It's fool us twice time and shame on us.

With a grin and a giggle and a wink and a wiggle
The former vice president has outspoken a gaggle
Decrying the efforts of the current administration
But he can't give past actions an explanation
Albore and his DNC cronies are quite spurious
He's makings a presidential bid temerarious!
I missed this hideous anniversary yesterday, July 1st. But, better late than never.
July 1, 1943 was the day the modern era of income tax withholding began. The politicians told the American people that the withholding program would only last until the end of World War II. After the war we would go back to the tried-and-true system of Americans figuring out how much tax they owed at the end of every year and writing a check.
So … Fifty-nine years ago Americans stopped knowing how much they earned. They started knowing what they “took home.”
Fifty-nine years ago Americans stopped knowing how much they paid in federal income taxes, they only knew how much they were “getting back.”
The withholding system has been the magic enabler that has allowed politicians to raise taxes and spending year after year after year without any repercussions from the electorate. When the final history of the destruction of freedom is written, July 1, 1943 will be much-lamented date.
If one were temerarious
And wanted to live precarious
They'd send in their tax
All in one batch
Instead of this scheme neferious.
I was getting ready to send out a search party...
Yes, that guy up there...
