Francois Rabelais once mentioned that in his times [16th century ] there was a book entitled "About the things which ought to be passed over in silence". If such a book does exist, Coulter would do well by reading it.

There are evil people in our world.
They see evil, hear evil, speak evil,
and crave to spread their malevolence.
And here I am,
as I stand idly by and watch it all unfurl.
I can feel my heart break,
when I catch a glimpse of their wicked hearts.
Yet, I choose to be oblivious to my surroundings.
The world is a dangerous place.
Not because of the people who are evil;
but because of the people, like me,
who don’t do anything about it.

SY - anonymous - attributed to Albert Einstein Silence, like inaction, is the true evil.

That post deserves some sort of award.

It is so "French"!

I bet none of the 911 harpies ever read it.

Rabelais certainly didn't take that advice, since he thought nothing of writing about imaginary giants pissing on Notre Dame cathedral. Citing him in defense of decorum is priceless.

Then what would she do for a living? Wait tables?
