"A man is holding hostages in the Hillary Clinton for President Headquarters in Rochester NH"--just reported by Susan Wornick on WCVB TV in Boston

Yes, I read that. I didn’t see him do the 9 year old nose wiping thing...I missed it. Thank God!

[Sacajaweau]

That’s my prediction, too.

Is Heather Knauert (sp?) channeling you? She just gave out the same info on FNC...

[wideawake] And yes, I know the real plural of opus is opera.

This is one of the irritating etymological truisms. There's no way in contemporary English to make any sense of it semantically as the two words have gone their separate ways. I won't even mention operas that have opus numbers.

Actually, the two words had already begun to go their separate ways in Latin. The third-declension neuter noun opus, operis, pl. opera, gave rise to a feminine first-declension collective noun opera, operae, pl. operae, with closely-related meaning. It's the latter word which is used in music today.

To make things even more complicated, all neuter plurals in -a were originally feminine collective nouns, hence the use of the neuter plural in Greek with verbs in the singular.

His snot will freeze soon.

He had a runny nose up thread - no hanky either.

Yep, he was using the back of his hand,,,,very attractive!

I don't mean to be cynical, but how soon before Hillary or Edwards use this to expand Universal Health Care to include the entire gambit of mental health to springboard their campaigns.

[Sacajaweau]

It doesn’t freeze...Unless your’re dead.

Some kid - last name of Bennett - was the one I saw talking with Cameron on the raw feed...gave perp ID as Troy Stanley.

Local WMUR saying perp is Leeland Eisenberg.

[Dinah Lord]

In 3 - 2 - 1

[billmor]

Fox is now reporting that the name is Leeland Eisenberg..and now there is question is the ‘flares’ may not be flares, but explosives...They said Troy Stanley is a different fellow but who also has a history similar to Eisenberg’s....

If I’m ever going to get done in time, I better start cooking Christmas dinner now.

...They said Troy Stanley is a different fellow but who also has a history similar to Eisenberg’s....

Well I wonder just how many people in that town have a history like that?

[Sacajaweau]

Eh...I beat you to this....with my “EXPANDED HEALTH CARE” posting.

[advertising guy]

8 and they voted 32 times.....

[Conservative4Ever]

Hmmmmmm....that thought crossed my mind too. Especially with the alleged Obama/Bloomberg meeting scheduled for today.
