Once again, Krugman the human slug is lecturing the “violent right” on morality:

That’s what lies behind the modern right’s fondness for violent rhetoric: many activists on the right really do see taxes and regulation as tyrannical impositions on their liberty.

Right now, each side in that debate passionately believes that the other side is wrong. And it’s all right for them to say that. What’s not acceptable is the kind of violence and eliminationist rhetoric encouraging violence that has become all too common these past two years.

It’s not enough to appeal to the better angels of our nature. We need to have leaders of both parties — or Mr. Obama alone if necessary — declare that both violence and any language hinting at the acceptability of violence are out of bounds.

What a sad, sad little man. To get the rest of the story read this.

Medicine Man prayer: GONZALES: Oh, Creator, let us not forget our fellow creatures. Those that stand. Those that blow in the wind. Those that are tall and stately. Those that crawl on the earth.

I agree. Most of these words would be wonderful to use. I especially like: 1. Jargogle Verb trans. – “To confuse, jumble” – First of all this word is just fun to say in its various forms. John Locke used the word in a 1692 publication, writing “I fear, that the jumbling of those good and plausible Words in your… Read more »

Our fearless Federal Bureau of Investigation has sent 200 agents to Tuscon to investigate a murder and attempted murder that everyone knows who committed it. That’s right–we need to tie down “hundreds of FBI agents” in an investigation where the bad guy is already caught, he almost certainly worked alone, was part of no network or larger conspiracy, and is,… Read more »

#70 I think Ms. Cook comes from a family of Georgians, but there ain’t much difference in accents if you’re talking to old time native Floridians, Georgians, or Alabamans. There’s kind of a triangle between Dothan, Bainbridge and Apalachicola where its like you went through a time warp. Wildwood is further south but is a small farming community.

It’s troubling enough that Wagonburner knows what the hell a stand mixer and a dough hook are. It’s even more troubling that he owns one.

Mharper, et al I have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer that I bought almost brand new from a thrift shop for $60 (normally sell for $200-$300). It turns out that the factory worker, probably union, included the paddle and dough hook for the next larger size bowl, and it would not function properly. I bought the appropriate sized units for… Read more »
