But modern conservatives seem to me to want things to change (or change back).
I am of the school that modern conservatives (in the US) are basically authoritarian, and not really conservative.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, the modern conservative movement isn't actually conservative at all, IMO. And don't get me started on the "small government" thing. U.S. Out Of My Uterus! etc.
Looks like there is an all development staff meeting this afternoon. Location, movie theater. Topic, Star Trek.
NICE.

That headline reminds me that I keep hearing people saying how very liberal Barrack Obama is (as a caution against him).
I'd say he is center left, not far left. People went on about how very liberal Clinton was and he was about the very definition of a centrist.

Jimmy Carter too. Every time a centrist Democrat gets elected the media defines his positions as far left, so that anything to left of him is simply crazy talk and not worth considering.

I don't necessarily see him as a centrist, but I'd say he's a moderate liberal. More left-leaning than the average of the Democrat primary candidates last year.

I have found recently that things I put on ebay are going for less than they would have a year or two ago. I think more people are selling and fewer are buying, b/c of the economy. That said, still makes more money than Goodwilling it!

Well centrist almost never means dead-center. Center right to Center left is the spectrum, and still centrist.

Jesse, do have any interest in trying to sell the shoes at a flea market table tomorrow? I have some kid's shoes I am selling for $1/pair.
