whew. looks like the buffistas have slayed the Tierney-demon. Anyone step on his neck?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Leif was being funny last night. He dicided that running into things is funny so he kept running into the sofa thud and then into the wall THUD. Then he was demand that I laugh because it was funny. Sort of patter-patter-patter-THUD! whump "You laugh daddy!" repeated about 20 times.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Brooks always has a doozy. And unlike Safire, he never admits it when I catch him in a grammatical or rhetorical mistake. I stopped counting, because there were too many.

The one where he says that women who claim to prefer having a career to staying at home with the kids are liars because OBVIOUSLY women belong at home?
Yeah, I read that one.
[eta: Actually, Salon has a response article out about it.]

that's the one.
ETA: I read the Salon analysis, which is what set me down the path that led to searching out Tierny. I was interested because of the Higher Ed references.

If I only had a brain...
You can't actually blame this one on the media. A mine foreman was in the room where the families were waiting, and he got a call from mine authorities that 11 people were alive.
Here's the kicker: HALF AN HOUR LATER the mine officials knew the report was wrong. They waited three hours to tell the families.
It ain't the press that did the families down.
