I use refdesk.com as my home page. It's a fine resource, though I'm guessing the founder is connected to Matt Drudge (same last name, connects to Matt's page, the default news page is breitbart, which labels itself conservative.) Anyway, I don't know if the guy running the page has any say over Word of the Day but look at today's. Heh. I'd never heard of the word so I got my day's education before 8 am. What's more I particularly appreciate today's usage. Hmm maybe it was yesterday's (today is stymie. Pfah) Still true today unfortunately. camarilla Definition: (noun) A group of confidential, often scheming advisers. Synonyms: cabal , faction , junto Usage: The people thought the war was for a righteous cause, but in truth, it was the brainchild of a greedy camarilla that hoped to profit from it.

I wrote a kos thing about some Bush Supporters and now I can't make changes. I'm so used to going in and monkeying with my bad grammar and typos. Yuck. Anyway, I say that for some people, no longer supporting our president might be more painful than cognitive dissonance. Of course they wouldn't shift their approval rating. Oh. I can make changes. I was hitting the wrong button. But now it's off the front page, so never mind.

I had a chance to interview GWB. I was so angry with him I couldn't speak correctly so he eventually made a smart-ass comment and got up and left.
