I knew there was a time difference between New York and Oklahoma, but I didn’t realize it was 60 years.
No, "jew down" is not appropriate, neither is "wetback" or "vagina" to refer to women. Your average 14 year old knows this and they are too young to serve in state and local office.
Some time in the late eighties someone referred to "that jigaboo guard over there" and my little sister just looked at him bewildered. I had to explain it to her later.
Jesse,
I loved that piece in gawker. I just tweeted about it. It would be nice if more people wrote about the NY Post that way. I needs to have no subscribers and no links so that it really will fold for good.
It is Murdoch's vanity project and been a loss leader since he's owned it. I don't think he's giving it up.
I have Hair to thank for teaching me complicated sexual words and racial epithets when I was about 12.
So, a skeleton rocking chair. Not my style, but I LOVE it.

Home now. All went well; I am tired and sore, and loopy.
Thank you for all the good thoughts!
Loopy is good. Home is best. Feel better soon!!
Yay Strix! Here's to speedy healing!
Oklahoma state representative uses "Jew me down" on the House floor. Then "apologizes" by saying that Jews are good businessmen. Is this 1955?
My Uncle FuckNut* likes to use that term. Even after I pointed out to him that I am half Jewish and it was completely offensive.
*For explanation, see yesterday's conversation in Bitches.
Glad you're home, Strix. Rest up, and I hope you have a quick recovery.
Tuesday afternoon HR told me soon. Wednesday morning my boss told me soon. What are these peoples' definition of soon??
Is a week soon? I don't wanna wait a week.
