Words to live by ...

"... These people — and the person leading them — are utterly out of their minds. I do not need to find three sources for this. I do not need to find someone to say, well, some of them are only sort of out of their minds. If I see a guy walking down the street with a duck on his head, I can write that I saw a guy walking down the street with a duck on his head. I don't have to find someone to say they saw a guy walking down the street with a duck on his head, and I particularly don't need to find someone on the other side who will say, no, what you saw was a duck walking down the street with a guy on his ass. I am not obligated to treat transparent lunacy as though it were worthy of respect simply because it happens to be popular. I am not obligated to be that nice a person. And neither are you."
 This from Charles P. Pierce, from Idiot America, about Glenn Beck and his followers. Good medicine ...

  1. Mike, sweetie, been all worried about you. (oh shush I call everybody sweetie). I saw that you logged in to the Silverhart website a few hours ago but man you gotta post something please. I wont feel better until I see an actual comment, been looking for you on mumble too but thought maybe you were having trouble talking. Don't mind me, it's in my nature to worry and fuss. Just practising for my old age and all that you know. Hugs, Obi. PS read your Tidbit, I just knew you my kind of people.
