This should be fun. As promised here are 3 words to be used in a sentence. Here's my effort: Demotic approbation has given Obama a sinecure of extreme privilege. Coffee time.

Good to have you back, Lou!
Hillary hoped to win approbation
from the black community by her demotic
chanting of an old spiritual,
in order to secure a sinecure,
but she just sounded TARD.

TARD indeed. Amazing how one set of glasses with rosy tinted progressive lenses can see genius while looking through plain window glass one sees only idiocy. Good to be back. Here's your award:

Obama thinks the White House is his sinecure. Unfortunately, this haughty attitude receives unwavering approbation from a segment of our population whose language and thought processes is often demotic to the rest of us. (ebonics)

Your outlandish post is most worthy of the lipstick award. With great approbation you are hereby awarded:

What a pretty medal. I never thought I’d like to be #2, but you’ve hit a home run with my award.
To: Louis Foxwell
It is with much approbation that I cede my sinecure to the good people of this thread lest I find myself in violation of the demotic generators thereof.

It wasn’t raining this AM, so we managed to catch up on a customer’s little Florida room...
Obama acts as if sinecure
Is what his job is about-
Criticize his work habits
And he responds with a pout
The demotic he appeals to-
Mostly entitled and lazy
That give him approbation
Most of us think are crazy
Only in the political world
Can some dumbass you hired
Steal money from the company
Without promptly being fired...

Thanks for the article SG-I pray that pope communist-by-proxy is criticized at every wrong turn and shown the door like his predecessors who were too involved in the secular world.
