insouciant; adj.

adjective 1. free from concern, worry, or anxiety; carefree; nonchalant.

Etymology: 1829, from French insouciant "careless, thoughtless, heedless," from in- "not" (see in- (1)) + souciant "caring," present participle of soucier "to care," from Latin sollicitare "to agitate" (see solicit ). Related: Insouciantly.

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.

This Administration is at best, translucent
While on key things, The One is insouciant.
Though it’s “I, My & Me”
POUTUS fails to see
That he’s just a pissant, and not puissant ...

I will always remember Tracey Ullmann’s show wayyyyy back when FOX first started being a network. She had a skit where she wanted insouciant breasts. I can still hear the way they pronounced it. Insouciant breasts. Over and over again. Funneeeeeeee.

It seems beer distributors have been able to sell 12 packs all along. No one ever asked the LCB about it before.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by these car insurance commercials where people act indignant if their rates go up after an accident? Or that their car’s blue book value goes down immediately after purchase?

In the first case, that is what actuarial science is all about. You pay lower rates unless and until you are deemed a higher risk. Why should everyone pay a higher premium?

Behavior has consequences.

In the second case, that’s why there is a thing called “gap insurance.”

Catering to morons who don’t understand insurance and expect the world to be as they wish it were sounds an awful lot like Obamacare.

I wasn’t annoyed but I thought it was stupid. I mean of COURSE your insurance goes up if you have an accident. the EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES bit is for the birds!

have you tell you about my brief little moment in the twitter sun yesterday. I have mentioned I read at noon Mass at Holy Rosary. Well yesterday after my co-lector sat down after saying the Angelus, he said to me, do you ever watch fox news? I said, it’s ALL I watch, he said well the WH correspondent is sitting over there in the back of the church. So I glanced back and said to Alex, wow ED HENRY! It was him and he went to communion and everything. After Mass I tweeted how nice it was to see him there and how the lectors were both fans of his, and he tweeted me back that I did a great job with the reading : ) My family roared!

Hey Shimmer - hope you are feeling well! I loved Ulman’s show - don’t recall that episode exactly but loved her humor

Good afternoon, all.

The government has messed around with the time again,
everything running 1 hour earlier today than yesterday
ticks me off that WWII regulations still prevail
but many folks like it for fun and recreation.

I can see clearly now- I can not see at all.

Apparently car insurance is the next big racial issue....males already pay higher premiums because they are (evil, crazy, reckless...?) but if insurance discriminates against women then we probably need to have white males share the burden with us. ;^)

Yes, distributors can sell cases, but not 6 or 12 packs. Bars/restaurants can sell 6 or 12, but not a case.

Now, it turns out distributors will be able to sell 12 (but not 6).

Anyone dealing with liberals on a daily basis gets my appreciation for not just bashing them on the head....don’t know how they can do it.
