Well we all have our different opinions on the Bailout, its oversight, and the burden it has put on the taxpayers. These guys at the BAILOUT GAME (http://www.thebailoutgame.us/) have put together a fun little Monopoly like game where YOU get to decide who fails and who gets bailed out...Give it a try...On my first try, I didn't bail ANYONE out and it led to a DEPRESSION...OOPS!!!
As you know, winter sucks...Winter especially sucks in Chicago...My 9 mile commute today took 2+ hours due to the snow...I really don't like it, but it is bearable...I cannot wait for the SPRING!!! This week we will be in the single didgits...WTF!!!
Werd O' Da Day:
audacious • \aw-DAY-shus\ • adjective
1 : daring, bold
2 : insolent
*3 : marked by originality and verve
Example Sentence:

Did you know?
Shakespeare used "audacious" seven times in his plays. That in itself wasn't exactly an act of bold originality. The word, which comes from the Latin root "audac-" ("bold"), had been around for decades. But the Bard was the first to use "audacious" in its "insolent" sense ("Obey, audacious traitor; kneel for grace," Henry VI Part 2), and he may have been the first to use the adverb "audaciously." "Audacious" itself was something of an innovation in the 16th century: it was one of the earliest "-acious" words in English. Subsequently, we've added lots of "-acious" adjectives to our lexicon, including "pugnacious," "loquacious," "voracious," and even, in the 19th century, "bodacious" (which is most likely a combination of "bold" and "audacious").
