Word For The Day, Monday, 8/10/09



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".

prevenient;adj

Coming before; preceding. Expectant; anticipatory.

Etymology: Latin praeveniēns, praevenient-, present participle of praevenīre, to precede : prae-, pre- + venīre, to come; see gwā- in Indo-European roots.] pre·ven'ient·ly adv

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

She is, indeed, dumber than a sack of hammers.
But not nearly as useful.

Fries and coleslaw.

I was watching the game, via my buddy’s TV back in the North Hills. But I need to sleep now. The bandwidth here is pretty sucky, especially since this 5-star hotel was just built for the Olymipcs last year. Every so often the video just stops and starts.

I definitly know some other sites are just banned. Like youtube.

Now they want us to stay one more day to finalize paperwork. So I won’t leave till Wednesday at the earliest. If my travel agent gets on the ball, that is. And the latest typhoon hasn’t messed up Tokyo’s schedule too much.

TO’s a great talent and he’ll probably help the Bills win a game or two they wouldn’t have won otherwise.

The fawning all over him by local media and “fans” is already old, though. It’s a sad state of affairs when these types are held up as royalty practically (almost idolatry) — I guess this area is bankrupt more than just financially...

Sheila knows that she could piss off 90% of her constituents and still get re-elected, as nobody worth a crap will waste their money running against her.
It's like living in a gulag without walls around here.

New taxes, retroactively prevenient
To pay for healthcare (isn’t that con-veeeenient?)
Our Great Kenyan Führer
Has started a furor
And the sheep pray that their masters’ll be lenient

Here and waiting for the pump repair guy-

The prevenient ‘rat reaction-
Calling fellow Americans “thugs”
For disagreeing makes me certain
They’re drinking kool aid or doing drugs

They fear the truth coming out
And are trying to stem the tide-
While in increasing numbers
Their constituents want their hide

The message could not be clearer
But still they seem to doubt-
If they don’t do the peoples’ will
Come 2010 their asses are out

Some states can actually recall senators/representatives-I’d love to see one of them do just that.

A quick glance out the window as he tugged the knot closed at his throat. Not the power red today, a more funereal blue. They disgusted him, gathered around the podium out there as if it were a gallows scaffold. Reporters. ‘Vultures!’ he hissed. Teeming, prevenient and frenzied. Like sharks circling a leaking raft...

A++ well that sure isn’t the OBAMS you are describing, because his relationship with them is cozy and loving!

Your commentary about TO sounds very similar to what is going on in the Hampton Roads area about Michael Vick.......pathetic.

Back from Room 101 in the Ministry of Love already?
Or do the Obamites use a different name than Orwell?

It was really only meant as a gag when we turned you into the fishy@wh.gov boys... ; )

Have you now fully embraced the Slouch towards Single payor?

Did I ever mention that not only was I once a member in good standing of the SEIU, I was the shop steward?
