I thought dismissive mockery was what I was doing. That said, this will be my last word on Robertson and this topic in general (provided he doesn't go nuts and attack Ruth Bader Ginsberg with a folding chair ( Read more... )

It has been far too long since I've written here. Why is it so hard to stay on task? Bill? Any thoughts? While I'm waiting for Bill's response, I thought I'd spend some time talking about ( Read more... )

Well, I've nothing much to say to that (except: wishing for the death of the great British actor Sir Michael Gambon because you don't like his Dumbledore? Yikes). So I'll just provide this instead:
