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....

I don't find it coplimentarry at all. he disses Mini-me constantly. Would he say the same of Igor? No way. despite the fact that on all measurable attributes, Mini-me outperformed Igor, the press orthodoxy still puts our the mantra that Mini-me is stupid.
I have a pproblem with this "Truth be damned" attitude.
and I have thought better of hitchens.
