Public Discourse Tweet The problem with, for instance, “hate speech” legislation is that the word “hate” has become so ubiquitous as to be almost without meaning.
Possum, Opossum or Large Vermin? Tweet Possums do a great service to us all, eating something like 5000 ticks a year per possum … but they sure are ugly.
Mark the Halls with Movies, Tra-la-la-la Tweet I have never watched an entirety of one of those movies, but as I visit patients, that’s often what’s on TV in their room. In those half-hour blocks, they all look the same.
I Remember Her! Tweet I’m kindof surprised I didn’t get an email from someone complaining about me using the word “booboisie” in a family newspaper.
Winners and Loeser and Tie-ers Tweet I am impressed by all the stats that sports mark these days, but kind of feel sorry for the guys who have to notice them. “Another slider.

Or Flop Tweet Our town is full of flippers but I have no idea if any of them are actually making money at it. Maybe all of them are.
