    A mixed stereotype can be more painful than a mixed metaphor. Thanks for the friendship offer on slu. My wife tells me I am as big a hermit in sl as I am in rl.

    'allooo Ms. Bates. Trust you are well. Here on the West Coast it has been amazingly dry this summer and much of BC is under a blanket of forest fire smoke.

Service Corporation International (SCI) is the largest funeral business in North America, and they just announced that they are purchasing their second largest competitor. The resulting company will own approximately 20% of the funeral homes and cemeteries in the United States. The combined company will have a huge influence on the "market."

This company may be familiar to some people. In 2011 they were the subject of a class action lawsuit by their own employees for unlawful...

The Washington Post recently posted an opinion by Peter Wehner . Mr. Wehner was a special assistant to the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under Pres. Geoge H.W. Bush and is now a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

The EPPC defines itself here. The EPPC is a thinly veiled partisan think tank that pretends to support compassion and ethical conduct. Instead it spreads tripe like this.

In 2009 James O'Keefe published a video of an ACORN worker who appeared to be aiding efforts to smuggle under-age girls into the United States from Mexico to act as sex-workers in the United States. In the videos Mr. O'Keefe is shown dressed in the worst stereotypical manner possible for a would-be "pimp." The videos show the person at ACORN actively working to help Mr. O'Keefe in his smuggling operation.

The truth of the matter was entirely different. While Mr. O'Keefe was...
