A word to describe our Pope Francis...frank. He's so frank, as to appear foolish most of the time.

[tioga]

It’s on.....get to class and opine with today’s word.

[MrB]

Pope Francis is a frank...

Let's be FRANK, the Left is already using this tragedy to call for more spending on INFRASTRUCTURE. No word yet on the cause. Prayers for the dead and injured. Xshub travels this route often, was supposed to return from NYC by train tomorrow PM, but doubt the tracks will be open by then.

[tioga]

Why bother to find the cause before spending money on the problem...LOL Good to hear that no one is reported seriously injured. A+++

[tioga]

A+++ He is indeed.

[xsmommy]

There were at least 6 deaths, and several more in critical condition.

If your Congresscritter sends you a hot dog along with the inevitable solicitation letter every election season, is that a franked frank?

If the solicitation happens to be completely honest (for once), would that be a frank franked frank?

Enquiring minds WANT to know!

[Paine in the Neck]

"Frankly, I like that word."

[tioga]

oh, boy....I fear for the church. I do not believe conservatives will follow blindly.

[Soaring Feather]

Well, best I can do for now--- Rhett Butler to Scarlet, Frank-ly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Rhett then walks out the door, a happy gambler.

[tioga]

Ouch. What the heck did I just read in the article. Mmm. I have not been paying attention.

[tioga]

My congress critters don’t get much from me. Too many are dem. A++

[tioga]

A++ an old standby.

[tioga]

Frankly, he likes to talk. A+++

[tioga]

For some reason, I have refused to read about this. I saw a train wreck once, the violence of the scene was disturbing.

[xsmommy]

The Church will be ok, nothing will prevail against it. Hard to say how many will be left in it once he gets done with it, though.

[xsmommy]

it has been all over twitter since last night. I am pretty attuned to it, bc it is a very common occurrence for people I know to use that route, including xshub. Because the airports are far from downtown, it is much more convenient to take Amtrak than the shuttle.

[xsmommy]

I have subscribed to Anne Graham Lotz’ prayer emails which will go from Ascension Thursday through Pentecost. Tomorrow is Ascension, btw.

And where does the “franking” privilige fit in your definition?
