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.
Why does Southwest think that marketing itself as a) cheap and b) promiscuous ('a little black book of all the cities we've "dated"' is 'a lot of ink' and 'filled up three of these this month already ' - oh, c'mon) is making them seem attractive? What kind of customers are they after, anyway?

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 -->Remember that airline commercial in the '70s -- National, if memory serves -- that closed with a stewardess (back when flight attendants were standardly single females) inviting viewers to "Fly me"?
Plus ça change, plus la même.
Remember the cig ads?

Yeah, but both of those implicitly promised you the woman. This campaign brags about sleeping around.
There's an implication that the "Fly me" stewardess is not likely still chaste ;-)
Though chased, perhaps.
