This is a big pet peeve of mine: changing the meaning of a word via faulty comparisons so much that the true meaning of the word gets diluted. An example, to me, would be of comparisons of Bush or Clinton to Hitler. Neither are remotely close the being like the worst dictator we’ve seen in modern history. Yet people on both sides of the aisle still routinely make the claim.

What I had hoped would be an exciting experience in homebuying turned very sour for me in the month of September. The builders and I had some disagreements that could not be ironed out, the biggest among them some deception on the part of the original seller who is no longer with the company in terms of verbal promises made to me.

I haven’t seen this much hyperventilating in the conservative blogosphere about an issue in a long time. I think it’s good that conservatives are voicing their differences about it – it obviously shows that we’re not just obedient little slaves to the President (WE knew that already, of course) and there are some great arguments for and against the nomination – but some of it is just so over the top you’d think the President had either just nominated Bill Clinton for USSC Justice or the mother of all conservatives. Time to take a deep breath.
