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....

The opacity of the logic of Runaway Dems has truly baffled me, don't they realize they are acting more like children than the adults they purport to be?
--RikaStrom, WFTD Teacher

Etymology: [French opacité, from Old French, from Latin op cit s, from op cus, dark.]

[NeoCaveman]

The Manchester Leader's infamous editorial has lead to more opacity than anything else. I think Mr. Gillespe needs to explain some things more clearly. And the newspaper should release the full transcript...pronto.

Morning!

The dems say they're dropped in the grease
Their howling and complaining increase.
The opacity of their actions becomes plain
As Whitmire discovers he has a brain.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The Clintons are known for mendacity
Their verbiage couched in opacity
Though she says she won't run
Can we trust "tons of fun"
Or presume that her words lack veracity?

Koreans are looking to increase the opacity on their heads by means of reforestation. Quite a concept that. I realize that vast posted a thread with the same story yesterday, but i am up to my eyeballs at work and just wanted to get some homework handed in. : )

[RikaStrom]

Well I was fun, until I realized I just scraped off the wrong sticker on my windshield. I thought I was getting the registration sticker, I ended up doing the car inspection sticker. Well, I know what I will be doing on my lunch break!

[RikaStrom]

Ok gang, I am off to work, I may or may not see you at lunch depended on the car inspection thingy. (sigh)

Some days are blonder than others.

[VRWCmember]

Good morning Miss Rika.

[VRWCmember]

Koreans are transplanting pubic hair on their HEADS? Eewwww.

[xsmommy]

oops, guess i had that backwards.... : )

[honeygrl]

morning everyone. :) Lydia took 45 minutes last night to put herself to sleep and slept for about an hour and a half before coming to our bed as usual. Then she woke me up at 8:30 this morning. grrr owell... i make up the sleep at THE BEACH this weekend. (mmmm beach.. drool)

[Fawnn]

Ghost writer employer Hillary Clinton's opacity was undermined recently by her transparent revelation that her experience makes it possible for her to recognize the makings of a cover-up scheme. (In reality, and unlike the deductive reasoning of a transplanted upstate junior senator, sensible New Yorkers didn't need an EPA statement in order to deduce that the opaque cloud blanketing their city after 9/11 probably contained some contaminants.)

Morning from the rainy zone!

[Texan5]

In spite of what the article said, I just don't see how that hair would even look like it even belonged there. It just sounds sick and wrong...not to mention just silly.

[Texan5]

Glad you made progress with the little one last night. One step at a time..

[honeygrl]

i'm uploading some pics for you girls today. the toddler fell asleep on his beanbag chair watching TV in bed last night and it was adorable. I may have some pics of the girl too.

Opacity becomes transparent when you learn how to do this. Sure it's from much earlier this morning, on the old thread, but Flurry and xs would never tattle. Would they?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Everyone will look like Gabe Kaplan. Mr. Cahteer.

[Texan5]

I look forward to seeing them-your kiddos are precious.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Everyone will look like Gabe Kaplan. Mr. Cahteer.

[Texan5]

Good analogy!
