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.
January 7, 1912, was the birthday of Charles Addams, master of macabre humor.
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 -->When I had braces on my teeth in junior high I spent time in the orthodontist's waiting room every couple weeks until it was my turn to be tortured dentally. Being a hipper-than-thou kid. I wouldn't have been caught dead reading the stock of young people's magazines on the coffee tables there -- which largely left "The New Yorker" (except the long articles were pretty much over my head with their rambling). So instead I'd leaf through for the cartoons, which is how I discovered Addams' work, with which I fell in love.
Now I'll have an earworm all day :-)
