Dear Ms. Handbasket: you’re welcome, and thanks for pointing out the Orwell/Huxley confusion, which I have to confess I missed in the heat of the moment.

Thank you indescribably for putting all this in one place. Another case of the coverup becoming more newsworthy than the story.

You might add that NPR has the same credibility problem. I don’t recall any Orwellian embryo labs, but I recall fondly marching through some Huxleyan embryo labs with Aldous himself.

But I think your approach is correct. Romney and NPR certainly do throw the word “Orwellian” around a lot. This is due to a psychological principle known as projection.

Ann Coulter is so fringe — representing the disassociation of intellect from manners and morals. In other words, she is just plain ‘meanness’ wrapped in Barbie doll good looks (which are quickly fading). Tucker, on the other hand, may not be perfect, but he is not a mean person, however so careless of social standards and how others are measuring him against them.

I am a Ron Paul supporter. Prior to the campaign, I had wondered what had happened to America’s intellectuals, i.e. geeks. Now I know … they are all supporting Ron Paul.

Yeah, I just saw that. So we’re back to the meaning of “saw” on the first point, and the question of why Mitt said he marched with King himself on the second.
