Don’t confuse with “concincinnati,” literally “with bad football.”

Sarah Palin’s concinnity in her speeches has the crowds cheering their approval.

There is concinnity in Sean Hannity and the other conservative talkers on the airwaves...

That is a picture which discredits and demeans Gov. Palin.

Why do you choose to post it?

In the strident rhetoric of contemporary presidential campaigning, concinnity is utterly foresaken.

Good Morning!

Soaring rhetoric and concinnity,
By two posers with consanguinity,
Of hopes and dreams,
And get-rich schemes,
Just strikes me as double-ninnity.

So, has anyone else's daughter put in a request for an Ed Hardy t-shirt? These are hideously expensive designer t-shirts with tattoo-inspired designs. This one's $154 at Nordstrom:

If I paid that much for a t-shirt of my own, I'd insist on a reach-around every time I wore it.

$16.50 for a Hollister shirt is way too much.

You might consider the...

Ed Norton t-shirt. $1.54, complete with vest. Might smell slightly of sewage.

Is Obama just a man, or some divinity?
He preaches hope and change for all, concinnity
Looking through unbiased portals
Barry’s just one of us mortals
His campaign is more of same, pure asininity

To the unsuspecting, Obama's rhetoric may at first sound like concinnity but upon further review its actually the siren call of cultural Marxism.

In the aftermath of Ike the usual perps are full of concinnity. Same crap, different day.

Because they fear spontaneity and variance from scripted messages, obama is relegated back to the teleprompter, for concinnity's sake.

There is certainly no concinnity between the facts and the Obama camp's denial of the Amir Taheri NY Post article. In fact there is more concinnity between the Obama spokesliar's description of what Obama said and what the Taheri article says he said than first meets the eye.

Did Obama just confirm Taheri?

Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.”

In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said.

Sounds a lot like Taheri's assertion that Obama sought to delay an agreement regarding the US Troops' presence in Iraq until after W leaves office.

i don’t particularly like the idea of being put under. i am not phobic about dental procedures, but my mouth is going to be incredibly sore from him banging around in there way in the back and even just from having my jaws opened that wide for that long. they charge an ungodly amount of $ to inflict pain.i know people like to say first let’s kill all the lawyers, but honestly i think dentists should be eradicated first.

I’m sure most dentists aren’t too happy about being on their feet all day banging around inside of peoples’ rotting, disgusting mouths.

I was not present for the show, however, when the "Dental Patient Video of the Week" arrives, I'll watch closely to see if I can pick up on the time when your local Dentist realized he was late for the track.

Drill here, Drill NOW, Drill Often, then send a Bill.
