The intent of my post was to extend the olive branch of Peace, not become an ammo bearer for continued strife.

I have failed miserably in this thread and my lamentations shall be heard throughout ensuing days of my life, woe is me.

Why does that sound familiar?

My lamentations (as well as those of my kids and unborn generations) are shown here:

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

The current liabilities are over $1,000,000 per taxpayer, and going up rapidly. This is on top of the federal government debt of $130,000 per taxpayer. And going up by the minute.

Naw, actually I'm pretty much over it already.

Which is surprising, usually when I get upset it lingers for an hour, hour and a half.

Nobody can be versed on all subject to the point of never making a gaffe and there always seems to be a live mike or video around.

Michelle is not Jewish, just as Obama doesn't have a military background, evident last year when he pronounced 'Navy Corpsman' as "Navy Corpseman".

I won't mention Sarah Palin gaffes.
It may be technically ok to pronounce chutzpah as chootz-pah. It sounds terrible and makes her comic fodder. If she had said that the President had nonconformist but gutsy audacity it would have made her point. It's politics man! Every word matters.

The remainder of the world that does not use non words, that mean nothing in a sentence ( i.e. passed all 4 years of English ) would not pass your "class" either.

Again, If you think you override Merriam-Webster, you might want to put your ego in check. This is what is used by the remainder of the English speaking world.

You don't override it, no matter how much of a legend in your mind you think you are.

Only by the Liberal biased MSM ( and yourself ).

To the remainder of us, that have the intelligence to do fact checking, it does not.

BTW : did you happen to look up hypocrite, while you were looking up the meaning of chutzpah.
I know, that is not the way you use the word hypocrite, you gave it your own meaning.

You just don't get it. I used the word hypocrite to describe you because I was looking to get a specific response from you. It produced the exact result I wanted. That's why words are used (don't you know that)?

Effectively you have become my little puppet, dancing on the strings I control.

Dance puppet, dance.
