It's a setup

The weather turned later but this morning was bright and sunny and warm and I tossed a handful of bird seed out by the fence and sat in my lawn chair soaking up the sun watching and photographing the birds enjoying their meal. It was all a setup but I got some really nice pictures.

Politics and the English Language

....Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase -- some jackboot, Achilles' heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno, or other lump of verbal refuse -- into the dustbin, where it belongs.
