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.

The Grouchiest

Kate Beaton draws the brilliant Hark a Vagrant and she has a new comic up: Doctor Sara Josephine Baker Saves the Babies and Does Other Things. The guy who wants her to go after Typhoid Mary ("But she's so grouchy." "She is the grouchiest.") cracks me up. You should be reading Beaton if you're not!
