I quip, but I quip in haste.

A thousand pardons.

To make up for it, I'm alerting some other cheeseheads to this momentous news.

Why Do People Keep Calling Me A Bastard...in German?

I am voting for Peg Lauetenschlager (DUI-Wisconsin) for Attorney General next time she comes up for re-election. She has that Wisco can-do attitude toward drinking and driving that is so admired in these here parts.

My Polish grandma always said, "None of us speaks German, but we all understand it." The fact that she was born and raised in Milwaukee doesn't bother me. I use the line shamelessly. Her only legacy.

BTW, all the Babelfish-type services I have bookmarked say that "bastard" is the same in English and German. Do they pronounce it differently?
