Word For The Day, Tuesday, January 10, 2012
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".
tessera{tes-er-uh}
-n, plural tesserae
1. one of the small pieces used in mosaic work.
2. a small square of bone, wood, or the like, used in ancient times as a token, tally, ticket, etc.
[1640–50; < Latin < Greek (Ionic) tésseres four].
if he loses, they will be nice to his face....so they won’t look racist. other than that, he is jimmy carter’s illegitimate brother.
I expect they will only a bit more time together than Hill and Bill...only because the girls are still young yet. I am betting he will do the public speaking route as he can’t seem to shut up and he has this torrid affair with TOTUS.
spend, spend a bit more time together....
I’m sure he will not do any speaking or anything else for free-much as I dispise Carter, he is a good and decent person for all the work he has done for Habitat for Humanity and various charities. Neither of the Obamas has a really charitable thought in their heads-I hope their girls both grow up to be caring, decent comservatives-that would be such just payback...
Duh! “Despise”
By the way-I was bored on Sunday, and so watched “Brokeback Mountain” on some channel I seldom watch, The guy-on-guy stuff was icky, but ignoring that, I think the story speaks to anyone who has ever participated in an all-consuming love that is hopeless and impossible for whatever reason for years, the gut-wrenching pain of knowing that you can never have that person as your partner-remember that movie “Same Time Next Year”? This was much darker, but the same idea. I found it sad, and a bit depressing, but very moving and relevant to anyone who has been in that impossible situation.

Did you see this on SNL last weekend?
I like the “Fidelity Investments Four Loko Life Begins at Conception Bowl.”
Oh, yeah-neither of the cowboys protrayed in that movie were “gay”/homosexual, in my opinion-they were totally bisexual-both enjoyed sex with women, but also with each other and in the case of Jake Gyllenhall’s character, with a casual or purchased male lover now and then. I’ve known a few people of both genders like that over the years, and I find them much harder to understand than people who are totally homosexual, but that is just me...
That is hilarious!
Carter never did more than a week of work for Habitat the years when he did it. That’s better than most but not nearly as much as people thought he did. He never corrected them either when they thanked him for how much he has done.
Now, that really doesn’t surprise me, but I’ll bet Obama won’t even pose with a tool, or ask people to donate anything but money for speaking engagements-he’s not even a believable phony.
I have never watched that. Interesting.
I’m sure he poses with lots of tools. Just not the Craftsman type. ;-)
I came close to buying a can out of curiosity once, but didn’t. Is it tasty?
That’s what got me.......like carbonated fruit punch.....odd effect though...not like beer or scotch....I could see the appeal to the post teenybopper crowd
