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....

Homework:

The stupidity of the liberal democrats is easily demostrated: they protest viciously the adumbrate of an unneeded luxary item like cable TV going up a few dollars; but pretend a thoroughly bankrupt system like Social Security must be duplicated into a trillion dollar Medicare (and now) an unneeded hundred billions of an unneeded free medicine program!

"We didn't even have poison ivy in our dry land in West Texas...... I still don't even know what it looks like.....

The mesquite tree thorns, catus, prickly pear, thorn bushes, stininging nettles, cedar shrubs, rattlesnakes, wild boar, deer, rabbits, armillos, scorpions, chiggars, mosquitos, lizards, horned frogs, (and now fire ants!) tend to keep the poison ivy away from the Hill Country.

Then again, who would notice a little poison ivy or poison oak?
