That Doesn't Meme What You Think It Memes
"Meme" apparently now means "Cute saying on a poster."
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.
When you pit laziness and accuracy against one another on the Internet, the former usually wins. (I doubt imagemacromaker.net would generate as much interest as this one.)
ReplyDeleteI have a guitar right next to me. Let's see if I can create my own jazz standards by improvising on I Got Rhythm!
