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.

George Will's latest column, so called, inspired this from David Atkins at Hullabaloo:
Some days I fantasize about giving men like George Will the world they so desperately crave--after stripping them of their wealth and privilege, and setting them up a coal mining town where they can prove their worth with the sweat of their brow without any bothersome government official interfering in the sacred relationship between them and their new employer.Me, too.
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...
