…of how the right-wing has fellow-travelers just as idiotic as the left-wing loonies.

Godwin’s Law expressed in an image instead of text (screenshot posted in case the blogger actually finds some shred of rationality and sense and removes this idiocy from the site):

So, now that BOTH sides have illustrated beyond all doubt that they contain idiotic lunatics along with people of good faith, instead of focusing on pointing out the morons on the “other side” why don’t we explain why our beliefs are worthy?

I have changed my mind on occasion when the rationale behind a political position is explained clearly. Just like everyone else, I am not correct 100% of the time, and I am willing to recognize that indisputable fact.

Unfortunately, people prefer to throw rocks instead of doing the hard work of justifying their beliefs to those who don’t “think right”…

I made it back to Austin without major incident last night. My cat wasn’t very happy, and I wasn’t able to get him to the hotel and the litter box quite fast enough, but it wasn’t the major disaster it was when I traveled with him to France.

Today I get installed in temporary housing and go out to buy the necessities that you cannot carry with you on a trans-Atlantic trip, even when you are moving and not just going on vacation.

I don’t know what kind of Internet connection I will have in the temporary housing. If it’s dial-up only, I’ll have to spend more time at my favorite bar, which has free wi-fi in addition to having over 30 fine single malt Scotch varieties available. Oh, the horror…

Never advise anyone to go to war or to marry.
