Word For The Day, Tuesday September 12, 2017
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".
sinecure [sahy-ni-kyoo r, sin-i-]
-adj
1. an office or position requiring little or no work, especially one yielding profitable returns.
2. an ecclesiastical benefice without cure of souls.
[1655-65; < Medieval Latin (beneficium) sine cūrā (benefice) without care; see cure]
Go
We should start to cure the sins of government by removing all sinecures.
sinecure [sahy-ni-kyoo r, sin-i-]
1. an office or position requiring little or no work, especially one yielding profitable returns.
L.I.F.E.R. R.E.M.Fs, especially those in government, are expert sinecurists.
I wish there were fewer
Politicians who are
Just leeches
Making speeches
To justify their cushy sinecure
The “Deep State” is actually a “Sinecure State” otherwise it would not have the time to do what a Deep State does.
Trump likes to say he’s a winner, pure
Tonight he’ll have dinner with lefties, sure
He’ll try to cut taxes
With scalpels? Or axes?
It’s too bad he can’t cut their sinecure
“Drain The Swamp” means so much more,
Than eliminating the occasional sinecure,
It’s a feat, that ,if Trump’s able,
Will rival Hercules cleansing The Augean Stable.
(((A note to all our WFTD Fans. Louis Foxwell, who usually posts weekly, has called me and he is safe after Irma battered his town in SW Florida. The damage to his home and business has been minimal, but he will not have internet for a while. I promised him I would let you knw!)))
Sinceitscured by Obamacare, we no longer have any problems with health care and Medicare and surgery and emergeny room visits, right? At least, according to the democrat’s national press corpse that is.
Since the layoffs hit the EPA
Trashing a lot of the sinecure
The computer modeling ‘bots
Have been set down for sure-
Called out to show the results
Of what they’d been paid to do
They pouted-were insubordinate
Telling Pres Trump just f’you
But he is the CEO-he fired them
Over all their insubordination-
Now they greet every hurricane
With a hysterical demonstration...
