Liberalism, in all its many forms, is tolerant, if not indulgent, of diversity in the understanding that diversity of thought is the strength of adaptability to ever-changing social and environmental conditions. The human talent for improvising solutions to common threats is dependent on multilateral thinking.<br /><br /><br />Conservatives, including the deranged wingnut flavor, are all about approaching this challenge by arranging society in a hierarchical pyramid to their liking, and then locking everything in concrete for all eternity--basically daring the fucking universe to <i>just try and change motherfucker, we'll shoot you down, WOLVERINES</i>.<br /><br /><br />In spite of the fact that the conservative approach has never, ever, worked for very long, they keep on trying it. I think somebody kinda smart once said something about trying failure over and over hoping for success.Colenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-65317021458799948262013-01-30T22:35:23.423-05:002013-01-30T22:35:23.423-05:00Appalled to see racism turned on its head, Roger v...Appalled to see racism turned on its head, Roger vowed to help it get back on its feet.AGoodQuestionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-68204027631147595622013-01-30T22:27:24.043-05:002013-01-30T22:27:24.043-05:00$50 to get in, $100 to get out.$50 to get in, $100 to get out.AGoodQuestionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-55791109790869972082013-01-30T22:06:14.192-05:002013-01-30T22:06:14.192-05:00"Dear Penthouse Forum,

Oh you...South-facing beaches in a northern climate. Oh you bet people go.<br />In the 19th century Yalta was a popular resort (at least two of Chekhov's best short stories are set in Black Sea resorts), because it has (and there's not a lot of this in Russia) a sort of Mediterranean climate in the summer, and I'm sure it persisted as a resort during the Soviet era. The Soviets seem to have been good about preserving those pleasures and comforts. It's the sort of place where high-level bureaucrats would have conferences, or, post-glasnost, business associations, sales conferences, large-scale corporate funzies, etc.. This may not explain what took Roger Simon there in this particular instance, but it's not that far off. The spy story still sounds doubtful, though: what use would he be to anybody?kiahttp://twitter.com/pocojumpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-44087104802329111892013-01-30T16:32:24.547-05:002013-01-30T16:32:24.547-05:00So, wait, Rog's writing ability came from GOD ...So, wait, Rog's writing ability came from GOD HIMSELF, and the most he has to show for it is "Bustin' Loose"?
