My fishing partner, Tatiania (we called her "Tits")


I'm probably more PC than most, but I still gotta say, no matter how
affectionately that's meant, no matter how funny it may be, and no
matter how much that may not bother her, that's just wrong.


Well, yeah......um.....maybe.....if she's somebody's daughter.

I'll temper that opinion with the confession that on one of the blogs
I frequent, I posted a diary railing against a toy manufacturer for
what I though was an incredibly demeaning sexist marketing scheme for
one of its toys. The blog is unquestionably on the "liberal" side of
things, and I expected a sympathetic audience for my rant. I was
wrong; opinion was split almost exactly 50:50. So what do I know.


What's distressing and oh so hard to understand isn't so much that we live
in a world full of pigs and assholes, but that they are proud of it.....and
amused by it......and that they get a great deal of respect for it.

As a general observation, it is very hard not to agree with that. But
here, there seems to be at least an element of tit for tat.
