(Definition#3) We could use an assize or at least a special prosecutor to punish those who stole the 2012 election by using the I.R.S. to effectively silence opponents of the Regime.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Something tells me that you miscreants will have some fun with this word.

[mountn man]

[mountn man]

You sir, are correct.

[NicknamedBob]

“miscreants”?

You rang?

My “assize” is invariant, no matter what I wear.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Harry Reid uses various assizes (Senate rules) to control HIS Senate.

[Hoodat]

Either these pants are assize too small, or that butt is assize too big.

[Darksheare]

JLo and Kim Kardassian were plagued by their assizes in the department stores.

[MrB]

Yep, you went for the obvious first pun with this word... :)

[mountn man]

I knew someone would go there, but the visual was outstanding.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Can we keep it fair and balanced, just for the sake of our visual health if nothing else?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A++

My “assize” is invariant, no matter what I wear.

Do these "genes" make me look fat?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A+++

Top grade for actually using the word correctly, in a non-gluteus maximus way.

[theDentist]

ObamaCare, an assize too big.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A+++
Apparently a diet rich in fruits and vegetables belongs to the same “do as I say, not as I do” family as Obamacare.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A+++
Top grade for moving away from Michelle.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A bonus + for your truck. Loved it!

[afraidfortherepublic]

Thank you thank you, thank you.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Aye, caramba!

[Darksheare]

Yeah, I figured that was fruit on the too low branch.

With each passing day, Obamacare shows that it is the gift that keeps on giving, to a republican party that doesn’t know what to do with said gift.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Actually, I’m surprised that Michelle is getting all the attention. I figured that Hillary would be good for at least 50%. (Just my half-assed estimate.)

[Darksheare]

Ah, she of the cottage cheese look.

[Darksheare]

And I just apparently murdered the thread and all readers with the visual they got from that comment.
Oops.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Better a comment than a picture.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Jonah Goldberg talks about William F. Buckley’s use of big and unfamiliar words here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3079589/posts

[Darksheare]

LOL!
True.
Especially her Thighness these days.

[hobbes1]

I'll see you, and Raise,

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The best line I saw (on Twitter) was that people should be offended by “Washington Redskins” because it contains the word “Washington.”

[secret garden]

I think it’s amusing and telling when mothers and daughters have the same hairstyle.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Pray that the Fabric Shortage isn’t rectified anytime soon.....

[NeoCaveman]

The local assize isn't going to well for the professional cuddle house.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

THis was a sweet little add-in by the reporter:

"Noon, who is not in a cult, also told local news...."

[afraidfortherepublic]

Rather than the topic of the article, I was referring to the convoluted description of Buckley in court (about the 4th paragraph).

Words are magical things, routinely defying the sort of logic-chopping on display in Costas' tirade. Their euphony can be a siren calling us to dangerous shores. Logophillic pundit William Safire, an unreconstructed paronomasiac, could be so seduced by clever puns, he often crashed whole columns into them. My former boss, William F. Buckley, was often in the dock on charges of aggravated sesquipedalianism, to which he always pleaded nolo contendere, informing the court of public opinion: "I am Lapidary But Not Eristic When I Use Big Words."

[afraidfortherepublic]

hat desrvesa post of its own. When you do, tag it with WI and I’ll ping the WI list. Only in Madison!

[Travis T. OJustice]

Hillary can’t run for orifice due to her assize.

[Travis T. OJustice]

What is it with madison? It’s like Uppermidwest Bezerkley!

[xsmommy]

I LOVE that !!!

[hobbes1]

Or, when you see mothers dressing vicariously thru their daughters.

I see that all the time.

[hobbes1]

Or thru the Lincoln Tunnel either!

JFKs father was a snuggler. Rum, as I recall.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Thanks—I now have ammo for my next 15 Word For The Day assignments.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A++
Finally—Hillary comes out of the closet (so to speak!)

[SoothingDave]

Not as long as Tuesday comes before Wednesday. ;-)

[hobbes1]

I don’t know, thats from the 80’s. Given the first two pics, I’d say we got the problem fixed in time ....lol

[afraidfortherepublic]

One of our former Governors, the late Lee S. Dreyfus, once described Madison as “30 square miles surrounded by reality”.

[ConorMacNessa]

They should take the Marxixt Maggot in the White House directly to the nearest Assize, try him summarily for Treason, and put him in the stocks. There's one handy directly in front of the Old Courthouse in Leesburg, VA.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!
