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....

To: RedBloodedAmerican
And libertarians cant be suspended anymore. I have my share of libertarian leanings but most of the libertarians around here are just too Fundamentalist in their libertarianism for me.

I do great chicken - but I have never been able to do even mediocre Fried chicken.
Don't know what my problem is - but I've never been able to get it to work and TOTALLY envy anyone who does is well.

Ugh! Clinton is on letterman..... I had to go change the channel.............
To: Gabz
I think partly it's just luck. I can cook anything, and it's always very good.....
Except Garlic Bread. I can't cook garlic bread for anything. Might as well skip the beginning steps and move straight to calling the fire department.

"it's the Mayor you are allergic to..."DEFINITELY!!
He's the cause of my hair falling out, my eyes going bad, my belly getting bigger and the flat tire on my truck.
It will be a beautiful day when he gathers up his stuff and leaves the mayor's office for the last time!
