Posted on 08/25/2003 5:20:00 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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....


inviolable \In*vi"o*la*ble\, adjective:
inviolability, inviolableness; noun
inviolably; adverb

1. Secure from violation or profanation: an inviolable reliquary deep beneath the altar.
2. Impregnable to assault or trespass; invincible: fortifications that made the frontier inviolable.
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.

Etymology: [Middle English, from Old French, from Latin inviol bilis : in-, not; see in-1 + viol re, to violate; see violate.]

The democrat credo, inviolable as ever, is to love a lib in every election, believing every novel alibi as to why their programs have failed. ”Ban evil oil!”, they proclaim, and a billion Eva Brauns march to their Hitler’s tune. Even Gray Davis, who is an able violin player in the mold of Nero, has his supporters. And now, Bustamante not exactly a viable lion by any stretch, and, indeed, a vile lib on many issues, has encouraged voters to put a lib veil on and vote him into office. For a naive lib, lo and behold! fiscal sanity is just another bit of fakery put forth by the white power structure, an albino evil that threatens their great God--diversity. Will Bustamante make California livable? No, I really don’t think so.

Did anyone see E.D. on F&F this morning ranting about Al Franken?

Literally ate it? LOL My 10mth old eats anything that can't get away from her first. I have to be very careful about paper in the floor unless I want to fish it out of her mouth when she starts gagging on it. :)

The doors have been open barely a half an hour. And you've already outdone the whole class already. Are you becoming Miss Rika's new Pet?

Another great one, Truthie!

Gah! I saw that thread earlier. Now the fat elites are too good to go on a diet? Too lazy and indulged? I have a friend who had that stapling thing done, and he was still morbidly obese. Less than two years later, the stapling caused his gall bladder to go bad, and he nearly died. Needless to say, when he had the gall bladder removed, he had them unstaple him, too. He has lost over 110 pounds in the last year on the Atkins diet, and is within 13 pounds of his goal weight.

Sure...there was a press function in DC a while back, and it was while E.D. was trying to become impregnated for the 8th time, so she was abstaining from libations. At one point during the event, she made a pic of Al and Brian Kilmeade, which they shared on F&F. In Al's book, he makes a reference to the event, and says an obviously drunk blonde made his and Brian's pic. Brian had read the book over the weekend, and told her about it before they came on this morning. Whoa, was she pi$$ed!

That is a scary one! The male one looks like a damsel fly, which comes out for a couple of weeks in late spring/early summer around water. What are they called?

If the info on this thread (I'm pinging to reply # 2 for a reason, which you'll understand when you go there) this became widely known, would ol' Cruz remain inviolable?

Good one. Vegetables are what food eats.

Buffalo Meat Loaf

3 1/2 lbs ground buffalo
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
3 eggs beaten
1 onion finely chopped
1 cup sour cream.

Combine all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl using a potato masher. Form into a loaf and place in a large lightly greased baking dish. Bake at 375 for 1 hour. Allow to cool before slicing.

I made this one this weekend and it was absolutely yummy. If you can't get buffalo, ground chuck will work.
