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....

Teacher's note:

On Monday, I gave this word as an alternate for some students. It's all in good fun, but you do know that I get irked sometimes.

i'll move it down to the bomb shelter i am building in the basement. good thing we haven't started the construction down there yet.

Welfare Office

A young man,a current  welfare recipient, walked into the local
welfare office,  marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi,
I hate drawing welfare. I would really rather find a job."

The man behind the counter replied, "Your timing is amazing. We
just got a listing from a very wealthy man who  wants a
chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to
drive around a big black Mercedes, and the suits, shirts, and ties
are provided. Because of the long  hours of this job, meals will
also be provided, and you will also be required to escort the young lady
on her overseas holidays trips. The salary package is 200,000 a year."

The guy said, "You're bullshitting me, man!"

The man behind the counter said, "Well, you started it!"

How can you not love this

'The next time anybody wants to know about Tawana Brawley, I'm going to ask them: 'Do you ask Teddy Kennedy about Chappaquiddick? Do you ask Hillary Clinton about her husband?' ''

Answer to terror? Arm yourselves, says LaPierre (more important than ever)

However, Sharpton is tougher than usual Republican targets. Whenever Begala interrupted him, Sharpton interrupted back. When Begala demanded a ''yes or no'' answer to whether he would support any Democratic presidential nominee, Sharpton responded: ''I'm going to answer it my way. You know, you all have to get used to [it]. You all can't give orders no more, Paul. There are grown-up folk in this party now, and we're going to answer the questions the way we believe.''

Just like Novak said at CPAC, he is not at all sure that Karl Rove is not helping fund Sharpton's campaign.

[xsmommy]

there is no better answer than those 2 questions. he is brilliant.

Seanny has GOT to be having wet dreams about this.

'The next time anybody wants to know about Tawana Brawley, I'm going to ask them: 'Do you ask Teddy Kennedy about Chappaquiddick? Do you ask Hillary Clinton about her husband?' '' I'm proud to be a White Devil for Sharpton (well, during the primaries anyways)

O'Reilly (your humble correspondent) was gloating about it last nite.

[hobbes1]

I was hoping it was alink to that picture of you in your thong...

[hobbes1]

If he ain't funding it, I certainly want to know if they are burning up the fax/phone lines...

[xsmommy]

i didn't see that part of O'Reilly, but i did see him completely losing his $hit with the guy from Forbes mag and the woman from the rap foundation on the ludacris biz. he has GOT to get himself under control because he looks like an idiot when he goes off like that.

[xsmommy]

again your type is in the news. incest this time, tsk, tsk...

[hobbes1]

Must Be Kentucky Lions.

[CholeraJoe]

I'm shocked. I would have expected this at the Little Rock Zoo but not in Scotland.
