230. Before praising protester, please look at following picture:


This is rather more threatening. I vote that she went too far.

The old moral test of whether an action is right is whether we want everyone to do it.

Going up and putting your hands on BOTH sides of another person's head -- a half a second from a
fatal neck snap -- is just not a practice I want to see a part of political dialogue in this country.

It's a matter of degree. Holding up both hands, palm-out, is a gesture. Hands on both sides of head is potentially lethal threat. If I had been there, I would have grabbed the other hand.

Even though I got a bit of a crush on Desiree, if the other guys did it, it would be some Blackwater thug.
