30. I came across a marvelous poem today:

“Do not keep the slanderer away,
treat him with affection and honor:
Body and soul, he scours all clean,
babbling about this and that.” ― Kabir


This makes me think that the tea party really does have a purpose.
An arm of the destruction which makes room for new and good
to come into existence. "Body and soul, he scours all clean, babbling
about this and that."


Sarah Palin in particular comes to mind (I wonder why) and others
of the far right who want to tear everything down.

It's affect and not effect. Effect is a noun. Affect is a verb.

effect is also a verb. It is just that in this case the verb needed is affect (have an effect on), not effect (to bring about).

(DU people and some of my family* not included)










*A fair number of my family are definitely not as smart as dogs. Don't get me wrong, they are nice people most of the time but doggies would beat them hands down in 'smartness' tests.

Every dog that I have ever had the privilege to be part of my family, has been smarter than ANY teabagger. And that is nothing compared to how much better they were to know.
