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....
moribund \MOR-ih-bund\, adjective:
moribundity; noun
moribundly; adverb
If talking about books -- a subject often more personal than politics and more arguable than religion -- can be bruising, it can for the same reasons be thrilling. Yet serious literary conversation as an avocation, as an impromptu congress of amateurs, has been moribund for half a century.
--Brian Hall, "The Group," New York Times, June 6, 1999
Etymology: Latin moribundus, from mori to die. Date: circa 1721
I'll bet the kids really love having their dad with them in the afternoons.
Sorry I have been absent so much but I must plead four letter word. I will be in Orlando from the 1st through the 10th with the family. I wish the wife and I could go without the kids.

While moribund Dems mourn bid.
They care not for men.
We elected a new assemblyman Saturday in the NJ 11th to replace Tom Smith who died last month. Sean Kean got a first ballot win in a three way race. Our work paid off. Afterwards, the state Republican Chairman asked me to have lunch with him soon to discuss our upcoming municipal races.
I am working on a new "Broken Glass Republican" post. I think the key to this year's election, as always, is getting out the Republican base. More later.

Looks like you guys had some excitement out there yesterday. Did they ever figure out what was going on?

Congratulations on the election. It sounds as if all of you put in a lot of effort to get a Republican elected.
It was heavy, but it didn't kick like I thought it would. I didn't even get a bruise from it. I want one. Think I could ask Santa for one?? LOL
I remember your "old" neighborhood. I'll bet it is far more flooded than you are right now. I know that doesn't help.
You're getting the tail end of the hurricane, aren't you?

It's a mess, if you are on I-45 you can't get off, but you can't get to work, if you aren't on I-45, you can't get on, and you can't get to work. (sigh)
I really do have too much to do at work to be here. Damn.
No, I want the gun! LOL
