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.
Ah, Fred Turner. I remember him from my poetry days. Once we shared a cab and figured we were probably the only two poets who had ever checked the math in a poem to make sure it was right.
ReplyDeleteWhere's your talking stick?
ReplyDeleteMy motto is "talk loudly and carry a little stick." So you can't really see it.
DeleteNeeded an excuse to air out the pits, huh?
ReplyDeleteI believe that comment was the pits.
DeleteOh man, you just left a pit in my soul. Perhaps I should hit the pits and regroup.
