Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->It's not a question of "anybody", of course — some of us would like not to let him get away with it — it's that the people who could stop him don't: Congress. Nancy Pelosi has explicitly said she would not bring up the issue of impeachment. (And, well, to be fair, I'm sure it's at least partly because she knows she doesn't have the votes to succeed.)
I'll go back to my first blog entry, a year ago: Outrage, and doing something about it. The "signing statement" thing wasn't spoken of then, or I'd have added that one to the list too.
The most disturbing part of it, to me, is that his getting away with it sets a precedent.
