The American people are exhibiting hebetude for the failures in security in Benghazi. Hillary managed to skate during the hearings. The media has failed those that died. The administration never cared. Very sad.

No hebetude allowed today! Look lively, be creative. Homework on my desk ASAP. I am headed out for a bit.

In light of the perilous circumstances in which the American Nation now finds itself, hebetude is to be eschewed at all costs: our watchword is eternal vigilance and our minds must stay keen and focussed!

Funny, I was certain I figured out the definition. When I studied developmental and abnormal psych during the dawn of time, “hebephrenic schizophrenia” had adolescent characteristics iirc so maybe hebetude meant adolescent attitude in some pejorative sense. Oh, well.

I so your pics on Twitter. Does that breed really need protection or do you just think it’s cute?

We’re supposed to have a messy, snowy afternoon. Though the 4-6 inches has been downgraded to 1-3.

I had a 12 pack of ginger ale in the back of my wife’s car and the cans were bulging at the seams from the single digit temperatures earlier this week. At least they did not explode and cause a mess!

As the country descends to decrepitude
The left soldiers on, in their hebetude
Huge deficits looming
Conservatives fuming
That no one can right the ineptitude

I tell you, if someone invented a hot cocoa that didn’t leave a difficult-to-clean-once-it’s-dried residue in your mug the world would beat a path to his door.

Or maybe someone already has and the cocoa cartel is keeping it under wraps.
