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.
I would have snagged the dictionary. I actually collect dictionaries; I like to see what the word *is* in a particular year.
ReplyDeleteShoot do you remember we were going to do that Dan Brown parody back when he was "so hot right now"? The stuff I had in the Word document was pretty funny, it was just never quite ready.
