How do you get a one-armed Polish tree-sitter out of the tree?
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.

ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought at first, but by your description I was picturing him sitting on a branch. After all, when I house-sit for someone, I don't hang from the chandelier.
ReplyDeleteEven sitting on a branch, a normal Polish person holds on for safety. Suddenly remove that hold, and he'll probably tip off.
ReplyDeleteHaving no access to Polish persons, I tried this with orangutans, letting them perch in trees and then blowing off an arm with a high-velocity bullet. They all fell off, though some succeeded in catching a lower branch with the remaining arm. When I blew that one off, they invariably fell to the ground, despite efforts to catch hold with their feet.
