Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
Incredible.

What the heck happened?! One second the prize was inside, and the next it was outside. Was it magic? And what was up with that mysterious stick?
ReplyDeleteRick, chimps also make tools, but it turn out the New Caledonian crow maybe even better than chimps.
ReplyDeleteBob, don't worry, after a few million more years of evolution, the Irish will get this sort of thing.
