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”.

Obloquy

Noun, pl. obloquies

    1. Abusively detractive language or utterance; calumny: "I have had enough obloquy for one lifetime" (Anthony Eden).
    2. The condition of disgrace suffered as a result of abuse or vilification; ill repute.


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....

I am guessing they are afraid, they watched in horror as theWon got reelected and they fear for their jobs. The first one will crack when we have a Republican president. I would have thought that anyone brave enough to stay with no protection, would be braver than that though.

Our always goes off after DH heads to work, so I have to go pull it off the ceiling myself. I made him change them this last time...if I make him do it when we change the clocks it saves me all that grief.

Perfect. the media has given into socialism without even putting up a fight. The old Soviet Union had to browbeat their media. A+++ Such lovely alliteration, too.

The last 4 years have decimated the economy. What else does he have planned? I suspect he wants to open the flood gates and let in more illegals to drain off what’s left. A+++

I have no idea where the survivors of Benghazi are, and I am pretty sure that if they ever stick there heads out of whatever hole the above it all, godking stuck them in, he would smite them down, because how would anyone dare (big blue innocent eyes) say such obloquies against the actions and policies of the Pric*... erh ... I mean, pResident, after all he's sort of God, according to Newsweek.

Less than 15 minutes until the Ob-loquy, where Obama will use oblique references to the Constitution to justify further obligations on the American people.

Hey. Nice to see those innocent blue eyes in class. A+++

I do believe they were already terrified for their lives in Benghazi, now they fear for their jobs or IRS audits. Maybe even their lives, still. Someone somewhere is talking though, it’s only a matter of time. Except for the Obamabots who voted for him among the survivors.

I have banned the TV today...yesterday, while at my 91yr old Dem MIL’s house she had the coverage on and raved about MO’s new hairstyle with bangs.....”she looks so lovely”....I said “yeah, nice hair and arms, it’s just too bad about that big butt”....then I opened my kindle and rudely read. Only thing I could do as my DH, her son, read the newspaper praying I would shut up and not upset his elderly mother, which I did. At 91 I guess you are entitled to live in a fantasy world.
