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....

Former Catholic priest Ghegan thought his position in the church made him inviolable to prosecution and for a time he was correct.

When he was incarcerated he might have thought protective custody made him inviolable to harm, again he was wrong when he was killed by a man who was molested as a child.

Guess you could say what goes around comes around and even in prison God is in control, remember the words that Jesus said about those who harm children.

I like that much better than Truth's apple polishing. Good job. I grant you a "Peer A+" not to be confused with a real grade.

E.D. Hill on Fox & Friends. Her legs are okay, but she's no Laurie Dhue. And she is pregnant with baby #8.

"Baby #8"?? Has she really had seven before this, or is that some futuristic monicker for the kid???? No one has two infields' worth of kids anymore...

Maybe they won't bring her back after this baby. That would be no great loss.

They should replace her with Skinner. ED used to defend hillary all the time on that show. She's not half as smart as she thinks she is.
