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.

Final Four (hope)

Well, UConn (boo hiss) trounced Kentucky, but Georgia and California went to OT before California squeaked it out. I'm 0 for 2... Hope tomorrow goes better!

At 10:35 AM, April 02, 2013 Kathie had this to say...: GO BEARS!!! (and good riddance, Stanford) Not that I'm partisan, or anything.

P.S. Did you watch the guest chats on "Jeopardy!" last night? The returning champ told Alex that she and her husband have decorated their apartment with women's basketball memorabilia!
At 10:39 AM, April 03, 2013 The Ridger, FCD had this to say...: No, I'm not watching an tv this week.
At 2:43 PM, April 03, 2013 Kathie had this to say...: Last night Rebecca mentioned that she and her future husband met at an event at Madison Square Garden during the blackout of August 2003. Since that's the wrong time of year for either the Rangers or Knicks, I wonder if it was at a women's pro basketball game (which would explain their shared fan-dom) -- do you know?
At 5:28 PM, April 03, 2013 The Ridger, FCD had this to say...: The Liberty play there, so yeah, probably WNBA.
At 6:49 PM, April 03, 2013 Barry Leiba had this to say...: A google search for

On August 2003, parts of Northeastern and Midwestern United States and Ontario, Canada, were hit with a power outage that lasted for two days.

...

The Women’s National Basketball Association also had to postpone two games: the Houston Comets-Liberty game at Madison Square Garden and the Connecticut Sun-Cleveland Rockers Game at Gund Arena because of the outage.

You cannot leave. You cannot drop the armor now. Why? Because you are needed, more than ever. You are mandatory to keep the energy flowing, the karmic vibrator buzzing, to keep the progressive and lucid half of the nation breathing and healthy and awake and ever reaching out to the half that's wallowing in fear and violence and homophobia and sexual dread, hoping to find harmony instead of cacophony, common ground instead of civil war, some sort of a shared love of a country so messy and internationally disrespected and openly confused its own president can't even speak the language.

After all, you don't hand over all your children the first time the flying monkeys bang on your door...

It's far from over. The tunnel is just a little darker -- and longer -- than we imagined.
