Reason ^ | March 16, 2018 | Elizabeth Nolan Brown

State Rep. Michelle DuBois (D-Plymouth) disagrees. She has been calling for the removal of a statehouse sign that reads "General Hooker Entrance" (so inscribed because it stands opposite a statue of General Hooker), which she described as an affront to "women's dignity."

My son wrestled on a USA wrestling team with the Great, Great, Grandson of General Hooker. He admits, somewhat proudly, that his predecessor was a ladies man.

I love listening to John Lee Hooker.

I guess he is guilty too and his music must be purged.

I don’t know if the problem is the current connotations of the term, or the general distaste for the past that these people have. It is as though the world were created just for them at birth, and will vanish once they have passed.For them, there is nothing to be learned from something that never existed.

Yes, only a general hooker would misread that and be offended.

To be replaced by a sign that reads "Stormy Daniels Entrance," perhaps?

Compromise, remove the word "General" from the sign and everybody should be happy.

Suggest to her that we replace Joseph Hooker’s statue with one of his Confederate opponent, Robert E. Lee.

Nah, they are just indoctrinated stoopid arses. They love to gripe and find a new outrage that beats their buddies outrage all for attention.

They need a group like Idiots Anonymous or something because the are quite frankly addicted to stupid.

Or

If the door was labeled “Unemployable Sex Worker Entrance” ... she’d be just fine with it.
