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!

that's right, she did tell us that! thanks for the note, and give miss slippy our best for a quick recovery. that could not have been fun. are you making her something nice and mushy for dinner?

[SeaDragon]

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.

[xsmommy]

could have been worse, could have been one of your daughters... or was it one of your daughters...; )?

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.

oh she is a bag all right. i saw a replay of her on H&C being interviewed by alan and she is an unmitigated bag.

[SeaDragon]

We were visiting Mr. Dragon's sister. In the boonies of MN.

[Bella_Bru]

Oh, that is so me in the morning!

[xsmommy]

well then i can see your point.....

[Slip18]

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.

[Robert A Cook PE]

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.

[CholeraJoe]

hoping these weren't friends of yours...

The goats or the Mexicans?

[xsmommy]

well either/or i spoze....

[CholeraJoe]

Yo gusto cabrito asado.

[xsmommy]

tu eres un cabrito....

[CholeraJoe]

Y tu eres loco, Sra.

[CholeraJoe]

Deal, counsellor.

[Argh]
