Last week the blogosphere and Fox News reported on the resignations of Vivian Schiller and Ronald Schiller from top posts at the notoriously leftist-promoting NPR (National Public Radio, or as Rochester conservative talk-show host Bob Lonsberry so aptly calls it, "Welfare Radio"). Does anyone besides me find Ron and Vivian's last name almost Dickensian in its
appropriateness?
The Hermit Crab hastens to deny the rumor that Senate (shrinking) Majority Leader Harry Reid is into necrophilia. There is no evidence to support such a scurrilous charge.
I think it can be safely assumed that his wife is, though...
Riddle: In what way is
Stephen Reinhardt (current judge on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals) like
Reinhard Heydrich ("retired" Deputy Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia)?
Heydrich was a protector who offered no protection, and Reinhardt is a judge who offers no judgement.
I found a great Ronald Reagan quote in the Voice of the Martyrs newsletter (print version):
"How can you tell a communist? He's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. How do you tell an anti-communist? He's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."
I take comfort in imagining my father, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan swapping funny stories around a campfire in Heaven. (Heaven must have campfires, mustn't it?)
Next time: A suggestion on what should happen at the next Westboro BS Church demonstration (of idiocy).
