Origin: [1350-1400: from Late Latin potentātus ruler, from Latin: rule, command, from potens powerful, from posse to be able]

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Sorry Truthy no homework from me, still nursing my sick eye-/ turns out I have corneal abrasions.
How does that happen?
Take care with that, nothing to fool with ... Years ago, I got an abrasion on my right eye are (which has a tendency to run viral infections). Since then, there’s been a permanent blemish on the cornea —Herpes Keratitis— and unfortunately, any procedure would only aggravate the situation.
How did that happen?
I’ve only flown on Southwest a few times (and am again on Sunday), but they sure like to do things differently. Which is mostly good, but any normal airline would let a person traveling with children board in a preferred fashion.
Look who thinks he’s a potentate:

He needs a lot of space to move around.
i’m less shocked that it has nine places to keep its food than at the fact it found something that would marry it

As with everything our im-potentate does, this has FUBAR written all over it.
A+++ for your potent-eight.
Here’s to a quick recovery!

One would have to pick from a subset of ten thousand people to find a Secretary of State as incompetent as Kerry. And that would only occur if Hillary were in that subset.
Barack Obama was involved with terrorists (Bill Ayres) outspoken anti-American racists (”Reverend” Wright) and convicted felons (Tony Rezco) but he had the correct amount of melanin and was pretty good at reading someone else’s words on a teleprompter, so, to liberals, the positives outweighed the negatives and he became President of the United States, a job for which he is outstandingly unqualified.
If I’m a gonna BE impotent, I should look impotent.
Who do they think they are? The gate potentates?
A++
I was wondering if anyone would go there. LOL!
Thanks!
Speaking of nobama, try abrogate one day.
Obama’s minions reinforce
His grandiose delusions-
Enabling willful ignorance
And keeping out intrusions
From his fantasy of a reign
Where he owns all he sees-
Is revered like a potentate
By supplicants on their knees
And whenever reality intrudes
On his golf vacations and such
They tell him it’s on the news
And doesn’t really matter much...
