I just watched Ann Coulter come apart on Hardball

Oh, too bad. I had hoped she would be able to give them all what-for, but I guess there's a limit to anyone's endurance.

Hullo! - Home for the evening? I am over talking about guns and dogs on the same thread. Not a bad evening, as long as I can keep from ticking off too many people.

It was pretty nasty while it lasted... high winds (gusts near 70 mph) destroyed a couple of trailer homes; no tornadoes fortunately, although the potential was there, and lots of lightning, some hail, some rain. The whole thing, from blowing up to blowing away, took about an hour. It's quiet now, stopped raining, only some occasional rumbles in the distance to hint that anything happened.

But it was exciting for a little while.

OK, as near as I can tell from reading Appendix E in ROTK...

Bah'rook Kah'zahd
Kah'zahd I meh'noo

Accents on the first syllable, 'ah' = short 'a', 'eh' = short 'e', 'oo' as in 'too' not 'book' in both instances, 'I' as in, well, 'I'. Uhm, did that make sense?

If anyone can make clearer sense of JRRT's pronunciation guide, please correct me!

Hullo! At home, and only slightly damp from the trip (just beat a thunderstorm getting home.)

As for the guns & dogs thread, I can only quote Frederick Douglas...

Agitate, agitate, agitate!

Whoa... binary posts! I like numbers like 11010.

Hi friends. Hair, thanks for keeping the fires going over on the snob-thread. Nasty snobbishy person! I wonder if he's read anything other than From here to eternity. I'd be mad if I read that novel. It sounds like a great SF story, but it's about Pearl Harbor? No thanks!

Busy, busy Jen. I'm working hard. Hope to have time off again someday...

Well, ok. I try to maintain a somewhat placid disposition myself, but that quote is still one of my favorites.

I'm not sure why...

I like "She gave him a look you could pour on a waffle" but I rarely get to use it.

Not sure what a binary post is....but Hello.

Thought of another SF book I once enjoyed, The Wild Shore, by Kim Stanley Robinson. But everything else he (she?) wrote, I disliked so much that I wonder if I was wrong about the first one.
