I first saw the phrase 'premature anti-fascist' when reading a short bio of Dorothy Parker. She was refused press credentials for WW II because she was one. It's nteresting (in a grim sort of way), as this piece makes very clear, how being right about something that people didn't want to know can make you a pariah...
You know its funny you all defend James Hansen and say that his predictions have been right but none of you can show 1 graphic, let alone 1 sentence, where he says the temperature should be at or very close to 288.8 kelvin.
Thanks for the ref. Seems Dr. Ph.D. doesn't see the point of having a heart first last and always, his loss:
I am eager to enter it, eager to end it. But my heart is forever captive of that other war that taught me first the meaning of peace and of comradeship.
And all of us have memories that can at times bring tears to the eyes in a rush of sadness and exaltation. Like Rolfe's-
and always I think of my friend who amid the apparition of bombs saw on the lyric lake the single perfect swan.
UPDATE: The spambots got clever so the verification is back. Apologies

That was a great read. The story would make a better war movie than just about anything I've seen.

Must pizza home delivery boys carry mirrors to keep an eye on brain matter oozing from their nostrils?
ReplyDeleteJ Bowers, the obvious answer is: No, because there is nothing to ooze.

ReplyDeletePunctuation?

Hnnn. And html tags that work...
ReplyDeleteEli's quote was supposed to be indicated as such. The joke's a bit flat without that.
I retract my cheeky request for punctuation. Advice on how to do standard quotes on the Run would be welcomed, though...
