No changes have yet to be viewed among the wailing class during North Koreas funeral procedures for Kim Jong-il. Any Oscitation could be a sign of changes implemented by the new regime

I don’t hold out much hope for the people of North Korea. They need to help themselves, but when you are starving to death, not much you can do.

Concur - I expect if anything is going to change there it will entail the NK military turning on their handlers. Until then I will need to hold my own oscitation in check.

The three stages of dealing with Bill Maher, first it is agitation, then
oscitation and then is resignation. Just ignore him and don't give that punk publicity.

After hours of rare hesitation
We get today’s word: Oscitation
It means yawning, like a Hawkeye
At the Iowa caucii
Feeling boredom and alienation
