In the foreground are two horizontally flipped images of a furious, hair-pulling Tweedledum as depicted by Tenniel. The left one is colored red and wears a sign that reads WRONG WAY GO BACK.

    They think refugees are dangerous subhumans that should be exterminated an I think they should be treated with compassion but we should get along because, "We both think the system is broken."

    @pluralistic I think there is overlap in personality with the and full of contrarians who oppose the mainstream as a reflex. My frustration with much of the Left is an insistence on ideological purity over pragmatic action. So the two sides combine to attack Democrats which helps Republicans win.

    I'm on tour with my new novel The Bezzle! Catch me TONIGHT in SEATTLE with Neal Stephenson (Feb 26, Third Place Books) and TOMORROW in PORTLAND at Powell's. After that, it's Phoenix, Tucson, Anaheim and more!

    @pluralistic Woo-hoo! Powell's!

    One thing you might be interested in - A local information security meetup ( @rainsec ) happens last-Tuesdays at a pub about two miles away. (Lucky Lab on SE Hawthorne Blvd.) The meetup officially starts at 6:30, ends at 9:30, on the outdoor covered patio behind. If you felt like showing up (presumably after the Powell's event,) pizza and beer would be flowing.
