I always wondered about that construction of ''compassionate conservative''. Your analysis is spot on; it does indeed make any non-adjectived conservative sound as if he or she were by definition ''uncompassionate''. Given the spending bills Mr. Bush has signed, one couldn't possibly make the case that, by 'liberal' standards, he is 'uncompassionate'.

Misrememorying? LOVE IT! Send that one to the president, to go right alongside ''strategery'', heh heh heh!!

Not even concerned w/whoever made that comment about DU. It was just plain old silly. As you say, my views are both very conservative and thoroughly (perhaps even too thoroughly) well-known to anyone here who has taken the trouble to read them. C'est ne fait rien, and ho-hum.

Thanks, SAJ.

I had so much fun deciding how to spell "misrememorying"!
Yup! It does go with "strategery", and I was certainly thinking of the president when I thought of it!
