I bet he's at a commie (NDP) meeting, sipping a latte, trying to figure out how to eliminate right-wing posters from the interwebs....

I wake up every morning and look at my "WW CA D" wristband and wonder how I can make my life better "one post at a time".

Come to think of it: I have NEVER understood that expression.

Ya I don't think you understand the concept of idioms.

With all due respect, Michael, I don't think that's possible. You do, at least unconsciously, know how and when it should be used. That is understanding.

Adults are a whole lot better at doing language than they are at analyzing it.

We learn the vast majority of words and idioms from real life context. Dollars to donuts, I'd say that if you checked a competent dictionary or two, it would match that which you actually comprehend.
