“My take Lenny, for what it’s worth, is that there is no longer a limit to what people can be offended by,” Rowe responded.

“This business of conflating hard work with forced labor not only minimizes the importance of a decent work ethic, it diminishes the unspeakable horror of slavery,”

I thought that was a perfect response to her.

Some people have a gift. I could have pondered it for five minutes and not come up with a response which was so simple, elegant, and dead on point.

Melissa Harris-Perry is a charter member of the Alliance of the Perpetually Offended. She is clean evidence of why affirmative action is a complete failure.

As they say: You can fix ignorant. You can’t fix stupid.

I was living in Boston (born and reared) and The Globe carried Art Buchwald but somewhere along the line I read a lot of Royko ... it might have been in Wheeling

Maybe the Globe carried them both ... but I doubt it.

I'll go see if I can find out

FUGEDABOUDIT !

"Royko's columns were syndicated country-wide in more than 600 newspapers. He produced more than 7,500 columns in a four-decade career. He also wrote or compiled dozens of "That's Outrageous!" columns for Reader's Digest."

I have to ask how the toilet came to be in that condition?

I have some kin that happens to be a plumber, and hear many tales of woe, but something is wrong with that mess.

One call was to a neighborhood not normally his territory.
But it was a favor for the bank that owned the foreclosed house.

He said the house was neat and clean, but had has a BAD odor,the tenants nice enough.
The pipes had froze and burst under the house, the tenants carried water from next door to flush the toilet!
A large cess pool had formed under the house.

He called in to say, nothing he do could do for this one.

He unleashed on Obama a while back too.
I bet he’s conservative.

Really wanted to read the article, but after about three minutes of attempting to load and about nineteen pop ups, malware bytes decided that it didn’t like it.

In 1971 Royko wrote a biography of Chicago mayor Richard Daley called “Boss.” It was excellent.
