Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Within their coterie of communist cronies, this administration has a significant number of muslims.

No pushing at the door please!

The Obama coterie is about to find out what it means to be held accountable.

It’s a beautiful day today, isn’t it? A bit chilly, at 37 degrees, but a lovely day nonetheless.

Nice to see, 8 games into the postseason, that the Penguins decided to start acting like they care.

And for those not inclined to watch hockey, tonight Jack Bauer returns!

There were uncharacteristically harsh words for Crosby and the Penguins in the pregame, on that score. Speaking of scoring, did 87 score? i watched the first 2 periods but then went up to bed.

No goals, no. Not that he had no impact, mind you. Still not doing so hot on faceoffs.

The game was tense until about 3 minutes left, when the Pens scored the insurance goal. Then the empty netter makes it 3-0.

The “dudes” in Barack’s little coterie
Spin in circles like some devilish rotary
But they’re all getting hosed
As Benghazi’s exposed
Come November, count votes with a notary

The current event this word reminds me of is last weekend's nerd prom. The coterie gathers to hear Obama laugh at and not with others.

Virginia proposing to ban the size of the coterie you can host at your home. Serious infringements being proposed all around.

the third definition of coterie: a group of prairie dogs occupying a communal burrow, reminds me of the fawning adulation of the Whitehut press corpse (intentional misspelling because journalism is dead.)
