Catching Up on the Alice in Wonderland World of Politics

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

That quote, of course, is from Lewis Carrol's Through the Looking Glass, not Alice in Wonderland.

It's a mindset that is unique to the Left, and diametrically opposed to rational discussion, as the meaning of the actions/speech change, depending on the political/cultural positions of the person involved.

In other news, I'm a great-grandmother again, this time of a lovely girl. Can't wait till I can get to visit her.

Other than still waiting to find out whether our purchase of the new house will go through, that's it.
