I think you were right the first time. Effect is the noun, affect is the verb.*

* Exceptions, of course, apply, but this is a good rule of thumb.

A handy reminder. I had to look this up recently because my adviser didn’t like my use of the word “impact” and wanted me to use “effect” which I had been avoiding because of this reason.

Gohmert: Voters need ‘at least 50 rounds’ in magazines to take out drones

During Thursday interview on Freedom 107 radio, host Jeff Akin asked the Texas Republican how he felt about using unnamed aerial drones for domestic law enforcement.

“It’s pretty offensive to most of us,” Gohmert opined. “Most of us think if you’re going to use a drone and fly over our homes to analyze what’s going on in our backyard — not a lot of talk’s been given — but if you can fly over in the backyard, you can use all kinds of technology to see what’s happening inside the home as well. And I know there’s been a judge, and this former judge sure thinks you ought to have a warrant to do that kind of thing.”

“But I had somebody last week in Washington from either Georgia or Alabama that was saying, ‘Look, this goes back to we have got to have at least 50 rounds in our magazines because on average that’s about how many it takes to bring down a drone.’ I hope he was kidding, I don’t know for sure.”

I’ve ended up with mixed feelings about it because my grandfather described himself first and foremost as a patriot, where you define patriot as love for your country. He served in the military for 20 years, civil service for 20 more. Two wars. I truly believe that he really believed in the ideals of America and was willing to put his life on the line for them.

But he was also very Republican, with all that entails. We didn’t talk politics much (or religion) because I enjoyed actually being able to talk to my grandparents.

He died on July 4th three years ago this year. It seems rather fitting.

Mississippi Newspaper Defends Publishing Story About ‘Historic’ Same-Sex Wedding

Many of the calls I received had the caller stating something to the effect, “I don’t need my children to read this.” Ugh. We have stories about child molesters, murders and all kinds of vicious, barbaric acts of evil committed by heinous criminals on our front page and yet we never receive a call from anyone saying, “I don’t need my child reading this.” Never. Ever. However, a story about two women exchanging marriage vows and we get swamped with people worried about their children. […]

You have a right to believe whatever you want. We weren’t trying to change your mind about that. We were simply reporting the story to the best of our ability. We are also happy to report the other side, too. We have run numerous letters that have attacked gay marriage in the LL-C since that story ran.

However, I can’t help but be saddened by the hate-filled, viciousness of many of the comments directed toward our staff.

Rohrabacher’s interest in Afghanistan extends back at least to the late 80s, before his time in office, when he entered the country in the company of mujahedin fighters who were intent on confronting Soviet occupation forces. Reportedly, these fighters “actually engaged Soviet troops in combat near the city of Jalalabad during the two months Rohrabacher was with them.”[25] According to eyewitnesses during this time he met Osama Bin Laden, his Arab fighters and also the homicidal terrorist, Afghan mujahideen leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. He called them “great freedom fighters and his friends, who are fighting the same war as America to liberate world from the “fatal plague of communism”.
