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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of 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....

The enemy has been engaged, and Saddam just pooped his pants! As we continue our battle, remember why we are fighting. The Eagle is awake and demanding retribution. As our President said, “We will not negotiate!”. We will not forget. Just like we Did not forget to repay those that perpetrated the Attack On Pearl Harbor....

When you said you were thinking about running for congress, did you mean chasing construction workers around the Dunkin Donuts parking lot?

With the Senate vote of 77-23, Congress has given the Administration the legal authority needed to oust Saddam. I was floored to learn the Junior Senator* from NY voted "YES."

* b!tch may be substituted.

Gives a whole new meaning to that old Neil Young song, doesn't it?

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place
    at your command
Can I stay here
    for a while
Can I see your
    sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
    to change your name
When so many love you
    is it the same?
It's the woman in you
    that makes you want
        to play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
    begun to rust
After all
    the sin we've had
I was hopin' that
    we'd turn back
Old enough now
    to change your name
When so many love you
    is it the same
It's the woman in you
    that makes you want
        to play this game.

Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
    the way it seems
Purple words
    on a grey background
To be a woman
    and to be turned down
Old enough now
    to change your name
When so many love you
    is it the same
It's the woman in you
    that makes you want
        to play this game.
