Word For The Day, Monday, June 9, 2014 –maleficent

---

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".

maleficent; adj.doing evil or harm; harmfully malicious: maleficent destroyers of reputations.

Etymology:1670–80; back formation from Latin maleficentia maleficence; see -ent
Hailing from the Latin word meaning "the dice" or "chance" alea, aleatory first surfaced in English in the late seventeenth century. •

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....

The biggest fault in a dog is that they don’t live as long as we do.

Indeed. Sorry xs.

[xsmommy]

Thanks.

RE Obama and his ilk, It can't be soon enough to have this maleficent menace lifted off our backs… It's about time the Iceman left for a President who genuinely cares about this country and its future, where we don't have to be barraged by a manic fleet of lackeys & Media apologists who defame clients at Congressional hearings, and otherwise prostitute themselves for this Administration.

For a long time now, American citizens have felt anemic at the polls with the Democrats and GOP-e differing very little in their approach to our current problems. However, we do need to find & support Conservative candidates of conviction, so as not to have the aftermath of this "Epic Fail" cemented into our system for generations to come.

“I make absolutely no apologies for making sure that we get back a young man to his parents and that the American people understand that this is somebody’s child and that we don’t condition whether or not we make the effort to try to get them back,” he said.

This is terrible writing. Did ozero go off prompter here or are his talking points writers incapable of speaking correctly? Get back a young man to his parents?

[xsmommy]

Excellent A ++++

Condolences on your beloved Chanel ... It’s always tough to lose a pet, after all they ARE family.

[secret garden]

Oops, mal-E-ficent.

This is really a stretch, but here goes. I’m old enough to remember when post cards were maleficent (mail of a cent).

[xsmommy]

Thanks mik

[xsmommy]

It works! A+++

I was so sad to hear she had passed. (my kindle kept acting up when I tried to type a message back to you) She is playing with her brother Loosh about now in doggie heaven. No concerns anymore.

[tioga]

Terrible writing, worse sentiment. Sure, his parents can visit him in the brig for the rest of their lives. That works for me.

Susan Rice has a price. She sold out again.

Good morning - I’m so sorry about the loss of your precious Chanel - it will be a bit quiet in your house for awhile.

[xsmommy]

Thanks. Took the day off to grieve and figured we could try to get xs baby’s passport. Because she was 14 it expired when she turned 18. And bc she’s now an adult its a new process. The merrifield post ofc has a passport ofc. We took the forms home last werk, filled them out, had her pix done and all the documentation. Were told if you come at 9 you can get on the standby list. I made an actual appt for a day in July but thought if we can just get this done today all the better. At 9 there were 20+ There already and it was a third world nuthouse and after 2.5 hrs we left without the passport. My nerves are shot.

Come up here. Thursdays the Westmoreland County courthouse’s prothonotary office is open till 6. They will do the whole thing for you, take the pictures, etc. Of course, it helps if you fill out the forms beforehand.

We got my wife a passport and my daughter a passport card for our trip to Niagara Falls. Only took about 3 weeks to get them back.
