Don't know about his theology, but Chesterton was a dreadful anti-semite. Shaw reproached him for that saying in effect his conservatism was probalby sincere and with a sound intellectual base, but that when it came to adapting anti-semitic vies there was no excuse; he was smart and well educated enough to know better.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The evil is this way?
If there were such things. Which there *so* are not.
Right. There are no such places in Chicago's Irish community either. Uh-huh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ee, what's your upper limit on price? Some of those $2200 apartments are splendiferous! I liked the one with the fancy inlay woodwork flooring.
Those are totally out of my price range, sadly, since they are indeed nice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh no, now you're going to get a big lecture from JZ on this subject. (In brief, while Chesterton's early writings certainly were anti-semitic, he recanted them and was one of the earliest journalists to speak out against the anti-semitism in early Nazism etc.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It's snowing here... Again...
It had been a nice sunny day, too.

Huh. It's pretty much a summer day in San Francisco today. Ridiculously sunshiney and warm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's just wrong! I've been running errands all day in nothing but a sweater.
(Okay, and pants. But no jacket! It's in the mid-40's, and gorgeous.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is very wrong, DX. I think a nap might be an appropriate response.

I have a headache. I think I slept too long.
I have 3 vacuums in my spare closet in my bedroom (also known as the junk, boxes and luggage closet.) I only use 2 but haven't unloaded the third. A swiffer thing lives under the loveseat (um, because I use it most to fish cat toys out from under it.) The mop? Well, right now it is in the bathroom. Sometimes it is in the dining room. Or the kitchen. And sometimes it actually ends up in the other junk/linen/supplies closet. Which I trashed yesterday searching for the cd adaptor so the door won't close now. Need to clean that up.
It took me 3 tries to leave the house yesterday because I kept forgetting stuff. And some stuff is still forgotten. My logic seems to evolve which makes it hard to find things I last used 3 years ago....
It is NOT snowing here.

Okay, it's stopped, and the sun is sort of peeking out again. I think Mother Nature just wants to mess with my head. Stoopid Mother Nature.
