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 Washington Post has a headline today reading "Region feeling little pain so far from sequester's bite".
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 -->Officials at Redstone Arsenal announced that something like 15,000 employees will be affected by sequestration. I would hazard a wild guess that most of them voted Republican in the last few elections, and many of them thought sequestration was a nifty idea. Up until now, when the piper's bill is due.
I'm convinced the whole thing was driven by the GOP's conviction that Obama was a one-term president. President Romney (or whoever) would have summarily dealt with the whole issue before the deadline hit.
And of course, all those who don't work for the government are going to discover what happens when 15,000 people have 20% less money to spend.
Absolutely. Federal employment is the engine that drives the Huntsville area. If not for that, Huntsville would be a small, sleepy, poor cotton town. Still voting Republican, of course.
