Indirect sunlight experienced in the period just before sunset or just after sunrise that has been refracted by the atmosphere into a golden or even an orangish-red color that flatters landscapes and life forms alike and is highly prized by both photographers and painters. It is also the safest light in which to sunbathe.
Manhattan's architecturally inconsistent jumble of high rise office towers and apartment buildings looked like a beautiful, unified whole in glow of the sweet light of a late winter's day.
The Louvre, which often looks imposing amid the Parisian gloom, radiates a refined elegance in the sweet light of the sunset.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will ruin corporate reputations, damage the fishing industry, kill countless fish and birds, pollute beaches and coastal wetlands. In short it is a globular clusterfuck that will take years to recover from.

verb -- 1) to incite internal opposition against and undermine a moderate member of a political party, usually by right wing forces. 2) to ideologically purify an organization by eliminating members who don't adhere to orthodoxy.
The verb is derived from the last name of Dede Scozzafava, a pro-choice, pro-gay rights, Republican State Legislator in New York, who was a candidate for New York's 23rd Congressional district in a 2009 special election until she was drummed out the race by vigorous opposition from far right figures such as former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin as well as former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey both of whom supported the third party candidacy of Doug Hoffman. Moderate Democrat Bill Owens ultimately won the race, prevailing in a district that had not elected a member of his party in over 100 years.

One of their targets is Ellen Smith because she doesn't agree with the NRA's stance that the best way to prevent massacres on college campuses is for students and professors to carry concealed weapons.
