Pride

I have two nieces and a nephew, and reason to be proud of all three of them. They are exceptional kids, and will soon be fine, upstanding adults.
Here’s one reason I’m proud of my nephew: he composed the piece performed here.

[That is the Santa Barbara High School Madrigal Choir at their annual Spring concert.]
He’s a talented young man, and I could not be prouder.

Cripple fight!

As a new differently abled disabled handicapped cripple, I’m perhaps a bit more sensitive now to the issue when it comes up in public discourse.
I have not a lot of comment about this at Jules Crittenden’s place, other than (1) complete agreement, and (2) to note that in a smackdown, I’ll take Krauthammer with his physical disability over Klein with his clearly deficient thought processes.



Plus: I’ve always wanted an excuse to link this (language, violence, and hilarity alert): South Park: Cripple fight!!
