As soon as a political label (of any flavor - left or right made no difference) was applied, people hated it.
People are stupid.
I mean, in general.
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.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
NPR had a piece this morning asking how much opposition there really is to the healthcare reform.
It's tracking around a 48/45 split. Not that big and some of the unhappiness comes from the left (single payer, abortion concessions). And some of it is in response to the process and less to do with the actual policy changes.

It's funny how when you put Nazis and Commies together you don't get a moderate effect.
Ideologies don't regress to the mean.

Hey now, the Nazis WERE national socialists. Granted, the label was about as accurate as "Clear Skies Initiative" and "No Child Left Behind." but...

According to the right they're just different names for liberalism.

This is sad.
This picture is from Jan. 18th, taken by an SF Chron photographer. Captures a young woman walking through a puddle, with a camera around her neck.
Three months later she's dead. Fell into the dangerous waters off Marin and drowned.
