Word For The Day, Monday, 11/7/16
;In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
bathos; noun
1.
a ludicrous descent from the exalted or lofty to the commonplace; anticlimax.
2.

Etymology: 1630-40; < Greek: depth
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Hopefully not bathos but rather pathos, indicating they will finally drop the goods on her.
No pushing at the door please!
all we can do at this point is pray.
In practical terms:
This rather brilliantly cuts thru all the political double speak we get.
It puts it into a much better perspective…..
Lesson # 1:
* U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $19,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000
Let’s now remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget:
* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $192,710
* Total budget cuts so far: $385
Got It ?????
OK now Lesson # 2:
Here’s another way to look at the Debt Ceiling:
Let’s say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood....and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.
What do you think you should do .....
Raise the ceilings, or pump out the crap?
Your choice is tomorrow. Vote like your life and the lives of your children depended upon it.
and vote! I don’t care if ISIS is manning my polling place tomorrow I will be there.
A++++ the sheeple need it reduced to those terms to comprehend it.
AnotherA:
When NASA started sending astronauts into space they quickly discovered that ball-point would not work in zero gravity.
To combat this problem, Congress approved a program and NASA scientists spent a decade and over $165 million developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.
The Russians used a pencil...
Your taxes are due again in April, 2017.
So drop it already WikiLeaks.....too late for many, many early voters.
The stench of Clinton’s corruption can only be cleansed with bathos and soapos
The NASA scientists spent 200 million dollars reinventing the ball point pen to write in zero gravity. They discovered a very simple device for writing, so simple the Russians had been using it all along, the pencil. A! But the scientists were not to be outdone. They infused graphite with ink.
Will prayer do Janet Reno any good at this point? Hmmm. Images of Waco burning are etched in my mind. Perhaps the afterlife has become bathos for Janet. I am sure the Clintons will manage a tear or two for her funereally.
Hillary has fallen and cannot get up. Her majesty is turned to bathos and she is bereft of sense.
A+++ it is putrid and foul.
Wiki has something about both Foster and Ron Brown being victims of the Clinton death toll. A+++
hoping and praying it is so. A+++
Aye.
I don’t want anybody reading this to think about Hillary’s bathos water after she washes her pathos and speedos out
Aye.
I don’t want anybody reading this to think about Hillary’s bathos water after she washes her pathos and speedos out
A+++ disgusting way to start the day, robt.
