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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

A very early good morning, class. Welcome to School!

"Top of the world, Ma.....top of the world".

My life is now complete.....I have humbly joined those who are members of the Miss Rika's Top Ten club.

If I could only get a glimpse of that detention room/janitor's closet, I could die a happy man. :)

Arachnybutryphobia will only heighten my animadversion of George W. Bush, and I will not be detered from spitting after hearing President Bush saying, "I actually like the little fellow", of Senator Ted Kennedy at the signing of the No Child Left Behind act (something that radically expands central government control over education.

GWB admitted that "folks in the Crawford Coffee Shop" would be "shocked" to heaar him say as much (as might other conservative supporters). The President described the socialist solon from Massachusetts as "a fabulous United States Senator" and insisted that "it is a great experiment to collaborate with him."

I've got some heavy duty animadversions for the dorks at NJBreathes - but I'm afraid I'd get banned for using them!!!

While I applaud the Docs not seeking government intervention, I trust nothing from any of these quasi-governmental organizations dictating my life.

[Gabz]

I sure hate talking to myself - especially at this unholy hour of the day.
