What do we mean by "ideology?"

Depends on whom you ask, but a common approach in political science basically says that an "ideology" is just what happens when people decide that a number of different policies "naturally" go together.

It's just how his eyelids are; they let the whole upper part of the irises show, making him look intense, like he's trying to pin you by staring. I know a guy who's spent his life squinting because of this.

Incredible that the stereopticon has survived nearly two centuries. I wish the handler was wearing white gloves, though.

I read the story on which the episode was based, but can't remember the author's name.

I'd enjoy that, too. There's not enough litticher discussion to offset the horrors of the day.

The youngest doesn't even recognize his father; he was still in the crib when his father was imprisoned.

Isn't "CYKA" (sooka) more accurately translated as "son of a b***h"? I'm saving this video as a useful guide to Russian colloquial phrases.
