;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".

: otherness; specifically : the quality or state of being radically alien to the conscious self or a particular cultural orientation
Etymology: Late Latin alteritat-, alteritas, from alter First Known Use: 1642
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Who is in a state of alterity this morning? Ed Snowden, or the NSA?

He is attractive and he’s very talented. But I’m with the girls, where is the LeTang pic???

There were sudden little rainstorms that came suddenly out of almost-nowhere all weekend-
The scandal-storm continues-
The bedfellows it has made
Have almost put some basic
Disagreements in the shade
The alterity that exists
Between our rights and spying
Unites some on left and right-
Of that there is no denying
It seems in spite of party line
Not all the ‘rats are sheep-
And Lindsey Graham thinks
Some rights aren’t ours to keep...
I’m almost optimistic that even some democrats have a sense of what liberty really means-maybe some have awakened, but peeling the leeches off their legs is another matter...
As Rush has noted, Obama presents a sense of alterity in which he appears detached from (and even actively against) the very actions which he himself advocates or tolerates within his Administration...
Joke I just saw on Twitter: What does Dan Bylsma have in common with a hockey puck? They’re both solidly behind Marc-Andre Fleury.
And there's always this:
A+++ yeah i have not heard much news this weekend to see/hear the reaction to this, since i had a housefull of people for xsbaby’s graduation.
ROR!!!!!
excellent!! A++++
I just read in the paper that Bylsma was talking up Fleury and downplaying Vokoun. He’s either trying to increase Fleury’s trade value or completely off his rocker.
Why do they wear an alarm clock on their shoulders?
Because when it’s Crossed Tomahawk Time, it signals trouble for the other guys.
You realize I can’t root for Chicago, because of Hossa.
