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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

3. Not violable; not susceptible of hurt, wound, or harm (used with respect to either physical or moral damage)
4. Not susceptible of being profaned or corrupted; sacred; holy; as, inviolable honor or chastity; an inviolable shrine.
5. Unviolated; uninjured; undefiled; uncorrupted.

For thou, be sure, shalt give account To him who sent us, whose charge is to keep This place inviolable, and these from harm.
--Milton.

Even living in Montana as I do, it's fairly hard to find. One grocery store has fresh ground bison every Saturday but usually sells out by mid afternoon. Restaurants will have buffalo filet or ribeye on special sometimes.

Bet you can't find a grocery in Montana that has some of the pig parts we have in some places in Alabama. Blech!

In New Mexico the democrats cower
Their cries more strident by the hour.
And making more obvious the undeniable:
For them, voter trust is not inviolable!

Good one!

Actually, Montana produces hogs, too. If I wanted chitlin's or pickled feet I could get them.

Football is stupid, period.

Oh, Yeah??

Well, in the morning, I'll still be ugly and you'll still be sober!

No, wait a sec...

They are indeed. Emu or Ostrich is much harder to find than buffalo. The birds don't like cold.

You like big butts...? That brings to mind a song that I don't want to have in my head all day.

When I lived in Alabama, I ate those things. When I moved away, I discovered that it wasn't mandatory and never looked back.

Harry Shearer, who does the voices for certain characters on "The Simpsons," said the former vice president sounded like a "gay robot."

The Bush team manhood is inviolable
But the dem's is more mockable
Rummy is so hot
And Gore a gay robot
It's a wonder any of them is electable.

On another note, and at the risk of losing my good grade, I note that no one has pointed out the Miss Strom used the wrong word in her examples:

This movement, brought by the "leaders of the black community" are doing nothing to help race relations in this country, in fact, they are making sure that racial tensions are inviolate(2); never to be healed.

Inviolate hate

Both are plentiful here now. The problem is proessing. To be it's best both need to be prepared without ever being frozen.

You can find ANY pig part in some grocery stores in Alabama.

Hey, what do you guys think of that Amendment One thing going on there? I just read about that while there last week. I read the details and it doesn't sound too horrible. My only request would be to use some of the money on fixing the roads. They REALLY suck.
