what a twisted demon that idiot councilwoman is

I hate that phrase “I am offended!” my clients regularly use that phrase as if it is meaningful and I disabuse them quite hastily of the notion that they have the right to not be offended.

I wish I could recall which well-known person said this, but his recommended response to someone claiming offense was a dismissive "So?".
