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....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

[hobbes1]

Surely you meant jack HAMMER! ; )

[xsmommy]

it was a typo, i meant jagoff....

[xsmommy]

it was a party line vote.

[hobbes1]

And of course, if we take back the Senate, she will get more than a Party line vote, when renominated....

Hey, new teach, I'll see you Friday.

No, wait that's not what I wanted to say.

Here's another definition of today's word from dictionary.com:

in·vid·i·ous Pronunciation Key (n-vd-s) adj.
Tending to rouse ill will, animosity, or resentment: invidious accusations.

The reason I bring this up is because my socks are rotting because of this invidious bitch (I wanted to type a 4 letter word for female genitalia but decided not to), another typical Hollywood airhead, crabbing this time to Congress about how seniors get treated by Hollywood. (Why oh why do the American people put up with the latest celebrities wasting the taxpayers' bucks giving congressional panels their dopey worthless opinions every time I turn around??) HEY YOU OLD COW (that's Doris Roberts, not you, Miss Bella), nobody cares, alright? Get a life, or better still, at your level of superannuation and stupidity, do us all a favour and get a death, OK? Your particularly STOOPID remark: "Many of my friends, talented actresses in the forty- to sixty-year-old range, are forced to live on unemployment or welfare because of the scarcity of roles for women in that age bracket." beggars belief. Tell your poor pathetic friends to GET A JOB WAITING TABLES OR SOMETHING, find a new career, don't just go on the dole. And you hypocrite Hollywood libs might consider taking care of these old bastards you claim to care so much for yourselves, right? NAAAHHHH!!

Sorry, new teach. And all you others. Just had to blow some steam...

"I don't think it was doe with any ill will," said Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-South Dakota. "The message is this: We will confirm qualified judges. Don't send us unqualified people."

these @#$%ing morons, drive me insane!

[xsmommy]

i saw that arghy and was equally outraged! they could probably get a little class action going with some aging prostitutes, no doubt they are discriminated against as well!

[hobbes1]

Since he opened up his mouth, and does not sit on Judiciary, it is time to make his Wife an Issue.

[xsmommy]

i certainly wish someone would grow a set somewhere up there on our side of the aisle.

[hobbes1]

They Need Me Coaching that Team.

Thanks for the welcome back. I am doing wonderfully and the pain from the operation is actually less than the pain I have experienced over the last year while working up to the operation. They also provide Wonderful pain meds. I had the operation on 8/27 and returned home from rehab on 9/3.
Now off to outpatient rehab for a few weeks, but I am walking with walker and my range of movement amazes me! The pain will simply go away. I am elated to get my life back.

Thanks for the A+ Mistress Bella. Now I can participate and not just lurk between pain pills.

[xsmommy]

i know you'd do a great job, darling. : )

[xsmommy]

i am so happy you are doing so well after such a major operation!

There is however an exceptionally potent Political upside to both The Pickering, and Owen defeats.

When we take back the Senate, the President is free to send up ANY CANDIDATE HE CHOOSES without regard to the ABAs Rating. The democrats having rejected (I forget Picks rtng, but Owens was Highly qualified) to ABA Approved candidates, will not be able to moan about the President Cramming the Bench with Right wing judges the ABA does not like, because it will be immediately pointed out that they, themselves disregarded the ABA in rejecting these two fine people.

Their actions have finished the job the President started in nullifying the Leftwing ABAs position in the Selection/Confirmation process. They are no longer relevant.

[xsmommy]

well hopefully that mentality will prevail, if and when.

[hobbes1]

Oh, it already has. The President put it in place by eschewing their input. Now, the Dems having rejected them in an infantile bid to please their hard left supporters, particularly Ralph Neas, ( I certainly hope there is a Hummer License plate out there with his name on it) have given the Presidents party mates a built in excuse to brush aside any rating/or criticism.

A couple of nights ago I watched Hillary speaking endlessly in her Johnny One Note Droid voice at some mind numbing boring Senate committee meeting and was delighted in my legally drugged haze, to see how awfull the witch looks. She is either perpetually hung over, desperate for her next heroin fix, out there jonesin' for all to enjoy, or old age has grabbed her and is not letting go. She is a limp haired baggy red eyed harridan who like Dorian Grey does not age gracefully for like reason. I wonder if mirrors are allowed anywhere near her? I wonder if she even casts an immage? Can you immagine how Bill must hate this cesspool wannabe who now controls his entire life?

I have my whip, tarry not....

I ask you, how could I resist a call like that one?!

[.30Carbine]

Fridays are clothing optional.

What, and the rest of the week we come in naked?!

It's going to take me some time to get used to this new teaching style, B.B.

Do you drink scotch?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Arghy honey, do you need a hug? lol
