Self defenestrate. Yummy.

I dropped by expecting you to have noticed that the test scores under Michelle Rhee appear to have been fabricated. Seems that there were lots of erasures of answers.

I couldn't be happier. She scum, she is.

Susurration.

I was accused a couple of years ago, during a discussion of favorite words, of making this word up, because a room full of future English teachers had never heard of it.

My word is "shetrick." Used in a sentence: Michelle Rhee tried a shetrick to fraudulently increase test scores.
