I still think "Trogdor" is a very trollish name [...] the more you talk about "looney-left" the more I like my troll theory.

I like it a lot too. He's either a troll, or he disunderstands elementary logic in a way that can only achieved by those who (a) are making a deliberate effort not to understand it or (b) are so clinically stupid that they have to be regularly reminded to breathe.

To declare that Hillary Clinton is not maneuvering to approach the 2008 election from a position of strength is an indefensible statement.

And to declare that Trogdor the Burninator does not think the Moon is made of green cheese is an equally indefensible statement. Scalawag.

I would add a modern assumption that any scientific advance will be either vital or lethal. I don't know if this assumption is based on headline stories' exaggerated views, or on some inheritance from Aristotelian drama.

In my opinion, Aristotle's exclusion of the middle has done more damage to the development of human epistemology than any method of brain programming before or since (not to mention that it made possible many of the subsequent ones, and many shrill dualistic ideologies along the lines of Objectivism).

I have no comment, I just like saying "Regius Professor of Forestry at Isengard State University". But only because there is no curse in Entish, Elvish, or the tongues of Men adequate to people like Novak the Lesser.

Orcinus points out occasionally (did it recently enough, in fact, that you can probably scroll down his front page and check it out) that calling bias-motivated crimes "hate crimes" gives ammo to the "all crimes are 'hate crimes'" crowd (who, as far as I can tell, propagate that meme because they sense it's going out of fashion to claim that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are "special privileges" when gays want to claim them).

So an apology [for saying that our concern for the well-being of a CIA operative is sudden and convenient] wouldn't be out of line. Failing that, let's hear exactly who [Weiss] has in mind.

I'll wait until this time tomorrow.

The wait is over, and if Weiss posted anything, it's not showing up on my browser. I'm not seeing her ball around here either, or her glove. Looks to me like she took them and went home.

I just wonder about what unthinking bastard shares my name.
