Carnival of the Liberals
Carnival of the Liberals is up at Blue Gal. (It's back on schedule after the year-end kerfuffle.) She's selected ten great posts; I especially recommend I Know Why the Caged Snuffleupagus Sings by vastleft at Corrente.

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.

Carnival of the Liberals is up at Blue Gal. (It's back on schedule after the year-end kerfuffle.) She's selected ten great posts; I especially recommend I Know Why the Caged Snuffleupagus Sings by vastleft at Corrente.
About Me
- Name: The Ridger, FCD
- Location: Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States
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...
