Somebody should flaunt a dictionary in front of the RNC so they will know the difference between flaunt and flout.

Beat me to it! At least they weren't talking about "viscous lies".

[aruanan]

DISPICABLE...This is a death match!

I think he probably used "DESPICABLE".

Thanks for the post! I wish there was something we could do to get the media to report the story.

Also, I think we should threaten vacation boycotts against states with Dem senators supporting this filibuster - and write editorials to their local newspapers explaining our intentions. I'll try to get together a list of such states, but South Dakota comes to mind, as well as the home of the Big Easy, which is looking forward to another Mardi Gras.

Flout or flaunt...

They are doing it "irregardless" of the word you use.

HAHAHAHAHA

Thanks for the ping. Good thread.

Just figures -- FR is really slow today, it took me forever to get this up, and some pipsqueak from RATS.com comes on here with idiotic comments!

[PhiKapMom]

That's a great idea -- boycott STates with Senators who filibuster!

Not a bad idea .. I was going to made plans for my family to head down to the New Jersey Shore this summer ... but I can rearrange those plans a bit

[ladyinred]

I could just burst, bust, blow up, whatever the proper term is!! These lousy RATS make me so angry. They have no right to do this under the constitution, and yet they just keep getting away with it!

Off with their heads!!!!!! GRRRRRR!!!!
(of course the above is just a figure of speech! Disclaimers are our friends!)

[PhiKapMom]

I second everything you had to say! I called Corzine's office today and by the time I got off the phone I was near shouting! Their aides are so condenscending compared to Republicans!

"Because of a Democratic filibuster, [the Senate] spent much of the week debating Mr. Estrada, and . . . Democrats are holding together to prevent the full senate from acting. The arguments against Mr. Estrada's confirmation range from the unpersuasive to the offensive. . . . It's long past time to stop these games and vote."

Hypocrites

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

Please don't flaut your ignorance.

My dictionary has this for flaunt: to treat contemptuously

That's because your dictionary is following the structural linguist heresy about language: whatever is, is right. The way the dictionary should have presented what you did above:

flaunt: "to display ostentatiously or impudently "; but sometimes used, even by writers who should know better (see Oscar Lewis) as an illiterate substitution for "flout," which means "to treat with contemptuous disregard": Such writers flaunt their lapses in discrimination with a word choice that flouts the English language.

Howdy ! Yeah, yesterday was a real pain in the neck all day. FR server seems to be working great this morning. I guess John got the 'bugs' worked out.

Does anyone know what the problem was? Was there a post anywhere regarding that ? ...

[E.G.C.]

I'm not sure what the problem was but I do know this.

Whoever perpetrated this B.S. and C.F. needs to have their you-know-whats thrown in the gulag.

If I'm not mistaken, it's against the law to initiate a "Denial of Service" attack on a web sever.

We'll see what happens.

[MeekOneGOP]

I'm not technically knowledgeable. I know what BS is, but not CF.

Sounds like you are saying it was possibly an attack by a hacker as sabotage ? ...

[E.G.C.]

Well, it was slow too here in Southwest Oklahoma. In fact there were even some cases where I couldn't get the page to open.

Same thing with Yahoo alternate FR page.

And yet, all of the other web sites I bookmarked were accessable.

This sounds to me like someone or some individual(s) did this because they didn't like what we were doing politically.

This seems to be the consnesus of some of the freepers here too.

Something is up and I've a feeling someone(s) is going to end up in the gulag as a result.
