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....

Here's my take on the Recall.


The biggest, most telling factor is this, Discounting the obvious staging (Red White and Blue Confetti snowing at every stop) everytime the cameras pull back from the tight Arnold shot, the crowds are pretty large, Whereas Davis is seen only at totally organized (read:Union, and Other DNC organs) events,and the attendance even then, looks minimal, Bustamante roughly the same.


Arnie=Straight Public Stops, and Cheering Throngs, Grayout, and Bust-a-move, Highly Organized union events, enthusiastic due to ideological reasons rather than PUBLIC support.


One is beginning to wonder if the tightening of the Race we keep hearing about is the result of the medias myopic refusal to believe that the LATimes garbage is having next to no effect.......



Arnold in a Walk.

[tioga]

Morning....

Looks like a nice day, almost sunny through the fog.

[TheGrimReaper]

Although the number of dimocrat wannabe stooges has dwindled back to 9, they continue to cling to their contiguous contempt for our commander-in-chief.

Meanwhile, the number of contiguous terms served as Governor of Kalifornia by Grayout Davis appears to be limited to one.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I found it right after asking...... thanks...... very funny comments on that one.......

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Today, our most populous state
Has its governor awaiting his fate

It's California, of the 48 contiguous
LA Times to Arnold: "What a Pig you is!"

But their saga of groping
Is just wishing and hoping

For when night falls, Old Gray
Will be sent on his way

And Conan, the leader of the pack
Will insure that the dems won't "be back"

[xsmommy]

i heard on the radio this AM that it was too close to call and that they are expecting an historic turnout of upwards of 50%. what a load of crap that is. this was a hiphop station and i am thinking that is some SERIOUS wishful thinking.
