Quote of the Day

First Charlton Heston, then TJIC:

Seriously, though, I love this: a guy is complaining that he might be denounced.

’cause that is exactly what my grandfather, a Marine in the Pacific Campaign, worried about. Being denounced by some chick at the school bake sale.

Well, that and Japanese infantry.

Actually, no, I think it was mostly Japanese infantry that concerned him.

As a matter of fact, in between killing fascists, being an iron worker 40 stories above the streets of Manhattan, and raising a family of four kids, he probably didn’t take two milliseconds to give a rat’s ass about what anyone thought of him.

That man's simply hurtful. Must be something about ironworking, or something - he knows where to hit so it will leave a mark ....

It isn't about being browbeaten, it is about being FIRED for mentioning anything that a woman finds offensive. I once said the word "vagina" in a medical class and a woman complained. I have not been asked back to lecture there since.
