TGIF

I just heard a Russian billionaire say he paid $200,000 to go to the Davos conference. Amazing.

Illinois governor impeached.

Bears attacked in force yesterday.

Obama attacks Wall Street bonuses.

Most of House "stimulus" bill is crap - aid to states to "replace" their spending is NOT stimulus.

I hope Senate fixes it. Pelosi is soooo bad - a partisan hack. Obama needs to show some leadership on it. he's only got one chance, or it becomes his mess (politically).

It's raining layoffs.

I started working on my French vocabulary at 4AM this morning and learned some "interesting" French terms. They have a very colorful language. I found them by looking up the term for "bolt" and following the chain of connected words. Hehe.

Word of the Day

"Diglot" - adjective & noun [$100]
Diglot means (adjective) bilingual; (noun) a bilingual book or edition. I suppose a bilingual person could be a "diglot", too.
Sentence: Will Bunkerman successfully become a diglot by learning French, or will he fail ? Time will tell. Perhaps if this blog became a diglot blog, it would help him. Thinking ... Maybe I'll try one sentence a day for awhile as a motivational force for learning.

learning French at 4am ....nothing but admiration Bman...well done sir

Bunkerman said...

Thanks. It's a good, useful language - I wish I have learned it years ago instead of wasting time on Latin & Russian.

Bud said...

Bman now that you realize this bill ain't stimulus...........it's just 8 years of pent-up liberal pork spending


time to hit the sell button on the Obama fund ??

Bud said...

i doubt that 200k the ruskie spent to go to Davos was out of his pocket...........either charged to the company i.e. shareholder's wallets or chareged to the government - means russian citizens paid for his 7500 a night suite

he didn't become a billionaire spending 200k for a long weekend

I'm worrying about that, Bud. I'll wait until the Senate starts making changes.

Bunkerman said...

BJ Penn sounds like a hooker's penname.

Bunkerman said...

I'm worrying about the Pelosi Plan - we'll see if Obama is man enough tostand up to her.

;)

Bunkerman said...

I pick the Steelers will win by two touchdowns or more.

Steel City rules !

Well, as long as the Browns suck.

mfl59 said...

is azzhead different than asshead?

I don't recall Johnson using the former...

Bunkerman said...

I think Spin was using an archaic spelling

;)

Or perhaps a regional dialect.

Bud said...

i'll have the pom-poms out for the cardinals............i'm a kurt warner fan........great story

but i think the steelers romp



PS......plus i hate the mooly-in-yans on the steelers ........they are all field.......at least the spooks on the cardinals are house

Bunkerman said...

Here are a couple synonyms from Johnson:

Clodpate - a stupid fellow, a dolt, a thickskull.

clotpoll - thickskull; blockhead.

In the spirit of a digot blog, French for blockhead, and hence asshead, is 'un imbécile' or 'le crétin' for a male, or 'la crétine' for a female.

Spin-em said...

yikes!!!

Bunkerman said...

hmmm French for "bunker" in the militray usage is just "bunker"

So I guess "bunkerman" is "le homme de bunker" or something like that.

Bunkerman said...

oops, that would be "l'homme de bunker"

I'm still missing those automatic contractions.

Spin-em said...

Hey you fellas enjoy your weekends....feel better Spike,,,
