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.
So, my (really daring) prediction: the big Jeopardy! tournament will be Brad vs Ken, with whoever was lucky enough to draw the third semifinal match finishing third. Ken could get lucky, but I think Brad will probably win ... again. Say 7/4 on Brad.

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 -->Tonight's "Jeopardy!" winner was more like the one who lost the least badly. I couldn't believe all three were so pathetic. Even in my jetlag-addled state, I was still able to do much better than any of them!
Yep. When I saw the lineup (I missed the show on Thursday and Friday, so I didn't know who all had made it through), I thought I remembered Roger as a pretty good player and figured he'd win. But I didn't figure he would just not lose the best. Wow. Unless that was an aberration, it will, once again, be Ken v Brad. At stake: Brad's never having lost to a human being.
Dun dun dun
