A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Who?

Professional George C. Scott lookalike; Pennsylvania Senator in his spare time.
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.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

He died of a broken heart.
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

"The internet's completely over. [...] The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you."

RIP.  Seemed like a nice guy-- I could just never figure him out.

I suspect you don't understand Rockafeller Republicans at all.

That's because he was "complex".

RIP Arlen.  :(

Probably my favorite liberal Republican.  All about rights and justice, not about handing out free money.

All money must be paid for in advance.

I noticed that The Economist has taken to using the expression free money quite often.

Brazen, you haven't been passing on my intellectual property to colleagues, have you?  :ph34r:
