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....

In*vid\"i*ous*ly, adv. -- In*vid\"i*ous*ness, n.
1. Worthy of envy; desirable; enviable.
Agamemnon found it an invidious affair to give the preference to any one of the Grecian heroes. --Broome.

so you are asserting that MN was not a vaca?

Absolutely!

Diving is a vaca...

A cruise is a vaca...

Visiting relatives is a family chore.

Odd, I've noticed this too, but can't explain it.

The media, of course, wholly "pushes" and glamorizes her ... pufs and primps her on TV appearances, and skips unflattering photos in the magazines.

Maybe that's part of it.

You saw an "unaltered" long-time view on the CSPAN cameras, and they can't hide the true image that emerges.

But also, there is an "eye" effect .. I truly fear that (like Diana who-can't-do-any-wrong-and-is-perfect-because-she-is-a-saint-in-the-emotionally-wrapped-soap-opera/romance-novel-masses) Hillary is deified by the liberals.

Rather than being defied, or just defined properly, or simply thrown in jail.

I'm just dandy as candy here. Had a wisdom tooth removed yesterday, but for the prior two days have been busier than a hoot owl in heat.

I do have the election/precinct thing going. It's taking a bit of my time.

Cyber always knows where I am . . . He's been super busy at work, too.

And again, notice that her "interview" was ONLY ALLOWED to be with the liberal Colmes ...

She refuses to talk to honest/conservative/independent news people.

And nobody in the national press corpse sees this as a problem.

Instead, we were "promised" she would be "FACE THE TOUGHEST PRESS IN THE WORLD" (their capitals!) when she "goes to NY to campaign....

Bunch of d**m liars.
