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....

There are so many things I abhor
like the media and my broken door
The Clintons and Clark
all seem such a lark
This all seems such a bore

The Hollywood Left's for being against Stalism shows what a treasonous bunch they are.

RIP great director RIP.

Yes the personal attacks are not approriate, unfortunately, they seem to be the coin of both sides.

i am not equipped to debate this with you, xshub has read everything that has been published about mcnabb and has followed him closely for the past 15 years, he disagrees with you.

Denial, it's not just a river in Egypt. Greyout is such a low level loser.

I've been trying to hold this back, but the Limbaugh thing is the last straw.....

I'm pissed:
Every day it's something or another
Either its the 10 dwarves, the UN, the gay bishop, pedophile priests, the left wing media, republicans that don't fight back, enviro-whackos, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Warren Buffett, George Soros, constant tax increases at the state level & local level, seat belt laws, smoking bans, safety-nazis, health-nazis, the Center for science in the public interest, the NOW gang, the leftist control of almost all aspects of life including the universities, the media, everything. The whole damn world is just a$$ backwards and should be thankful that I do not have my finger anywhere near the nuke button.

Thanks for hearing my rant.

Now that's a dang funny visual!

[xsmommy]

it is depressing, no way around it.

He's more than a little biased....


The simple fact is out of 30 or so teams in the league, there are at least 10 guys, better at that position than he is. Here's an easy five. Favre, Vick, Garcia, Gannon, McNair.


Which puts him in the second tier of starting qb's.....And that is NOT where the media, and by extension the NFL wants him.

My mom had 6 kids. I was the largest at 9lb 6oz and the third child. Sister just before me was smallest at 7lb 8oz. The other 4 were in between. I kid mom that I'm glad she smoked to keep our birthweight down. Smallest grandchild of 15 was 7lb 2oz. Largest was Flurry JR at 10 even and Flurrette was 3rd at 9lb 14oz. Most of us are tall and slim except 3 chubby grandkids due to fat spouses.

Less than 4 hours of work left.
