Obama is the cynosure of his own life. I predict the posts will be about him, but I often misread what direction the students will take. Carry on...

My Cynosure will like being away from the dust and pollen of MO and KS. And Nebraska, Colorado, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Seems I sneeze from every direction the wind blows.

The cynosure in Christianity is the cross, whether empty or with Christ on it. It is the sign of assurance that all will be well in spite of the horrors of this life.

"Well, Cyrus, m'friend, are you voting for Jay Silverheels or Clayton Moore as the best TV Western actor?"

"Cynosure."

#1) Progressivism is the cynosure of modern liberals and Democrats (is there a difference?) No matter its failures, they appear to be eternally convinced that their good intentions will overcome epochs of experience with normal human behavior!

#2) To the current Administration and Media, Fox News, the Internet & Talk Radio are the cynosure of evil in this country.
As for me, I'm not so sure that the arrow points the other direction!

Didn’t they become extinct during the early Cretaceous, 80 or so million years ago?

Apparently Johnny Depp thinks he's such a cynosure that Australian law doesn't apply to him.

“Sinosaurus (meaning “Chinese lizard”) was a tetanuran theropod dinosaur which lived during the Early Jurassic Period. Its fossils were found in the Lufeng Formation, in Yunnan Province, China. It was a bipedal carnivore. It was approximately 5.6 metres (18 feet) long.”

A bumper sticker extolling the virtue of the driver’s cynosure, Obama, is a sign o’ sure stupidity.
