"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
-- George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

Global Warming Upside
Couldn't have asked for more spectacular weather this (quasi-)holiday weekend. There's something about barbecues and beer in February that is wonderfully unsettling. Chicken and linguica skewers Saturday night, surf & turf tonight, all with Sierra Nevada Stout and ESB accompanying, and there's a few eps of Arrested Development second season left on the Netflix disc for tonight. And a friend is bringing back a couple bottles of PatrĂ²n from Ensenada, for about a quarter of what you pay at the Costco. Everybody should have weekends like this all the time.
