So there you sit with a bomb in your head..

http://driftglass.blogspot.com/2012/05/aint-gonna-let-nobody-turn-them-round.html


So there you sit with a bomb in your head.

It's a bomb which will detonate if you ever admit -- even for a moment, even to yourself -- that the Evil Libruls have ever been right about anything.

If detonated, this bomb will not only annihilate your identity, your ideals and your faith...not only destroy your standing in the community, the esteem of your friends, the respect of your spouse and children and, potentially, your livelihood...but it will also utterly humiliate you.

Should that bomb ever go off you would be forced to admit that you have gotten really, really important things terribly wrong for the last 10...20...30...40 years.


Read the rest of the piece at the link, it's really quite good .

is when they admit to themselves that Rush, Sean, Bill, and Glenn have been lying to them all these years.

Nah, that'll never happen.

but I love your sig line. Last year we went for something like two months without rain. Then, one afternoon, we got a pretty good downpour. I was outside smoking, just enjoying the feel of the rain. Another smoker said "why don't you come out of the rain?" (we have a covered smoking area). I said "because it feels too good"
