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.
Huh?!
ReplyDeleteI am almost afraid to ask, but what prompted this?
By the way, interesting new blog-header.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, do you know what the header is referencing?
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that it has to do with current instability of nations and its threat to "whirled peas". Sure, it is a generality, but things are quite strange these days. More war seems to be afoot.
ReplyDeleteIf you were thinking of something more specific, then I must say that I am at a loss.
Well, there is the whole Ron Artest thing, as well. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that you wouldn't change your header just for "Metta World Peace". It's got to be deeper than that.
Well, it was mostly just my chuckling about Artest, but if there is anything deeper, it's that perhaps this blog can best be called "the blog with the ever changing name."
ReplyDeleteThe post? Sheer whimsy.
