So sayeth this man. Is this DANGEROUS atmosphere the right is creating in which they are carrying guns to Obama rallies, dehumanizing him with racist imagery, and making statements about resorting to the bullet boxes if the ballot boxes don't yield results going to lead to tragedy for America? What says y'all?

Normally I think Friedman is a rare voice of sanity on the NYT op-ed pages, but how was Whitewater "bogus?"

How would you describe it?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It was lacking in slides and kiddy pools.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Cause you didn't really answer.
Maybe you can tell me what would qualify as a real answer then I'll decide if I want to play.

I don't think unbogus is a real word.
