Word of The Day


Today's word of the day is ersatz.

adj. Being an imitation or a substitute, usually an inferior one; artificial: ersatz coffee made mostly of chicory. See synonyms at artificial.

As in: Hillary Clinton threw an ersatz victory celebration after winning exactly zero delegates in Florida's Primary. Here's a good piece about last night's farce.

Mark my words on this one. If the Democratic Primary process doesn't anoint Hillary, there will be lawsuits about the Florida and Michigan voters being disenfranchised by being excluded from the Primary Process. This, despite her signing of a pledge that she agreed with her Party's position on the handling of the Florida and Michigan Primaries.
