RIP Anne Armstrong

Anne Armstrong
On graduating in 1949 she was offered a job as an editorial assistant on Harper's Bazaar in New York; but before she could take up the position she met Tobin Armstrong, owner of a 50,000-acre cattle ranch in the Rio Grande valley which had been acquired in 1882 by a Texas Ranger, John B Armstrong, with the bounty money he received for capturing the outlaw John Wesley Hardin.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Of course, her ranch is where Mr. Cheney shot his lawyer friend in the face a couple of years ago.
