Kind of ironic that Miller is throwing stones at Manning when far more people died as a result, in part, of Miller's too hasty peddling of a hoax or fakenews created, intentionally or not, by the "Intelligence" Community.

YES THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE JOKE IN METICULOUS DETAIL, STEERS. WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT YOU.

Well sure, the link to Ms Miller's WP is welcome, but there's absolutely no need to explicate why it is so ironic.

I'm drunk feathers and I need things explained very slowly to me with small words.

Or he could be the reason you started drinking in the first place.

I think Rebecca has you blocked. I don't see it unless I look at your twitter feed directly.

Oh, and happy birthday, Brive. Wifey and I are having a 50th year long celebration, because one day is far too short.

Miller was later involved in the Plame Affair, in which the status of Valerie Plame as a member of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) became widely known. When asked to name her sources, Miller invoked reporter's privilege and refused to reveal her sources in the Central Intelligence Agency leak and spent 85 days in jail protecting her source, Scooter Libby. Miller later was forced to resign from her job at the New York Times in November 2005. Later, she was a contributor to the Fox News Channel and a fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute. On December 29, 2010, numerous media outlets reported that she had signed on as a contributing writer to the conservative magazine Newsmax.

Also, don’t worries about college students demanding trigger warnings seem a little less urgent now as Donald “I hate political correctness” Trump slithers into the White House?

So we should give SJWs a free pass because Trump becomes president?

Should we also pardon all forthcoming PETA actions because of Trump? People parking their car in a handicap place?

It's the story of a christian missionary on an alien planet. I recommend it. The story didn't go any of the ways I expected it to.

Slightly related topic; pretty much all of the sci-fi I've read assumes that advanced civilizations will be atheistic or at least secular, but what if we encounter an advanced species evangelical with a religion incomprehensible-or just plain silly-to us?
