makes perfect sense to me

makes perfect sense to me

Kate at Small Dead Animals points out the absurdity of the acceptance of Liberal malfeasance, and how the "it's only a tiny percentage" argument falls flat on its face:

"I've made a deal with your bank. They have agreed to allow me, at the time of my choosing, to dip into your personal account and take a few dollars when I need them. Or alternately, when I want them. It's nothing to get worried about, because the amounts I take will be such a tiny percentage of the bank's overall holdings.

I won't be telling you when I'll be accessing your account, how much I'm going to take or how I will spend it. I negotiated that, too.

Because this is a democracy, you will have the right to complain just as loudly as you wish - so long as you remain civil. No anger allowed, because I really am uncomfortable - distrustful really - of angry people. They scare me."


Kate also complained that Andrew Coyne gets more hits from her best lines than she does (although to be fair, he did credit her). She was referring to this post, but a more striking example would be this one; half of the (over one thousand) comments consisted of lawn signs that commenters generated from a script on Kate's site. Here are my versions of the sign:
