: : Usage Note: The words ironic, irony, and ironically are sometimes used of events and circumstances that might better be described as simply “coincidental” or “improbable,” in that they suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly. By contrast, 73 percent accepted the sentence Ironically, even as the government was fulminating against American policy, American jeans and videocassettes were the hottest items in the stalls of the market, where the incongruity can be seen as an example of human inconsistency.

: So you can copy out of a dictionary. What a big girl you are!
: Your rants about Bush are laughable. We hear you talking, but all we hear is BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!

Yeah, and your no substance responses in attempting to try and defend this administration exceed the blah, blah, blah. You basically give no evidence to support your beliefs. The most that I have seen is placing labels on people without providing any examples of something positive. Let's hear some examples of how Gee-Dubbya has improved the lives of working class Americans. Remember, no more blaming a Democratic Congress, no more blaming Clinton, no more blaming the events of 09/11, and then you can pass Go and collect your $200.00.

If anything is laughable or humorous, it is the manner in which you attempt to defend this administration without thinking independently.
