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.
Either that or a spiteful and quarrelsome woman. You'll either get your shins scrapped to the bone, or be yelled at in a very angry and argumentative way. Use caution.

ReplyDeleteHuh? I guess that makes sense (for a name).
ReplyDeleteBTW, the translator on Mac's dashboard said that the word meant "vixen", so that is the angle I was going for. I imagine that it depends on the usage, and that in most cases it simply means "fox".
I don't speak/understand Italian. However, and this is kind of weird, I can understand spoken Spanish, but I cannot speak it. How, I do not know.
