The Verbivores | 10/14/02 | Teacher

Posted on 10/14/2002 5:05:04 AM PDT by RikaStrom

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....

After Groton, he would attend the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School, then settle in Paris, rent an atelier and paint.
--Benjamin Welles, Sumner Welles: FDR's Global Strategist

ROFLOL, definitely no arguements on that description. Heck, I know several people who will try to be first in line to do an in person example of all of the above.

"Let's camp here," said Tom intently.

Didn't Atelier Stevenson lose to Ike twice? He was the Al Gore of his day. He was supposed to be real brainy but hardly ever cracked a book. I'll have to check Ann Coulter's book again.

Actually camle,I work in Manhattan. Software Developer.

I Live in the land of Lone Palm.

I've been seeing more of Forrester, and he looks like he is hitting his stride as a candidate. That toothless bag he s running against should seal his own fate, if he refuses Meet the Press.

Plus the one thing that is going unaddressed in the Senatorial analysis, is the magnificently ensured revival of Broken Glass Republicans, in NJ.
