It’s in the dictionary I use every week. Apparently, a slang Britt word has crossed over to the dictionary. I was LMAO when I saw it used in a prominent news article earlier this week.

With the dishonest ouster of Tea Party Congressmen, The House will be even more of a shambolic mess.

The “Fiscal Cliff” fix is shambolic
The remedies purely symbolic
Raise tax on the rich
Dig deeper, the ditch
While the liberals buy votes and frolic

I could go for taxing the rich more if they had a million dollars coming in each year....$250thousand for small biz is too low.

Excellent! A+++

The vigil Mass tomorrow, yes.

You shouldn’t have coffee if you’re fasting either. Only water.
