s-m-r-t, I mean, s-m-a-r-t
So I was walking into work today, thinking about what the leftist equivalent of "compassionate conservatism" would be. You know, staying true to your idealistic cause, but using an adjective to imply the opposite of however people complain about your idealistic cause. Like how everyone says conservatives don't care about anyone but themselves, so "compassionate conservatism" neutralizes that. I came up with "responsible liberalism." It's not alliterative, but I like it.
Speaking of ideas I like, I'm coming out and predicting the title of the next Harry Potter book will be Harry Potter and the Heir of Slytherin. Doesn't that sound like a Harry Potter title? And who would it be? Draco? Voldemort? Snape? Harry himself? Maybe the Sorting Hat saw things about which it chose not to speak.
(And I got the image from Laura. Go to her damn site if you want to see who she took it from.)

Scary--BOTH of my children posted that picture on their blogs. Where did I go wrong??

Jeez Matt, thanks for ruining the next Harry Turtledove book for me.

Hey, that doesn't come out until next week. You'll have to wait until then to find out that Jake Featherstone is Voldemort.

I think that we will learn more about Sirius' brother- REB (his first name was Regalus)

Molly, stop being on the forefront of Harry Potter predictology. Weren't the initials RAB?
Posted by: Terry | August 7, 2005 1:59 AM
Yes, they are RAB because another option is Amelia Bones.
