What a strawman is, here’s a classic example:

WHen you have an indefensable position, and you can’t count on your enemies overlooking it, you attack it yourself with someone who hasn’t any interest or ability to defend his position. So it looks like you have successfully defended the stupid position when in fact you have just disallowed useful comment. Sort of like the glowebull warmening “debate” where the “Science is settled”. Yeah, right.

Hell, the birds don’t like it either. My knees feel like a million bucks, and my ankle feels like it has a nail in it.

Truck battery died yesterday, and I thought it had been replaced recently- the memory is certainly fresh in my mind, but it has been over three years. At least it wasn’t sleeting frozen pus.

We have a coopers hawk- or maybe a red shouldered hawk- living in the backyard. Yesterday evening it flew hard into the bedroom window, startling the beejus out of the ogwife. Thank god it didn’t make it in! Imagine being stuck in a room with a startled hawk!

I was thinking about putting some meat out in the yard, to see if it would come to it. Don’t know what the logistics of that would be.
