Vancouver City Motto
Vancouver: where all of the squirrels are black, even if none of the people are.
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.
We've got a ton of black squirrels in Kent. I used to live in Brimfield, which is a rural township right next to Kent and that shares Kent's postal codes. I would see these critters all the time, and boy are they ugly, they look more ratlike and scraggly than the grey squirrel. Here's a little background of how they got to Kent.

I lived in Vancouver for a while. The squirrels are there for the nuts, who are in abundant supply.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend, it's even abundanter!
DeleteGene, just be glad the Vancouver Canucks stink and were bounced out of the playoffs in the first round, because if they had made it to the second round and been swept by the Kings this past week then you'd currently been in the equivalent of a citywide meltdown. Case in point: pictures of post 2011 Stanley Cup Finals in Vancouver.
