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”.

Stolid

Adjective

    Having or revealing little emotion or sensibility; impassive: "the incredibly massive and stolid bureaucracy of the Soviet system" (John Kenneth Galbraith).


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....

Stolid - a fourth state of matter even harder than solid.

There is stolid evidence that Russia’s position across the Crimean peninsula is getting more entrenched every hour.

A++ Depressing as the weather and four more years of Obama. Can’t get more stolid than that.

I'm going to follow your theme of Putin as a stolid leader and big zero as the clueless oaf.
