politically incorrect, last friday - 2/22. i was waiting for the transcript to get posted. bill maher, michael rappaport & ann coulter.
| Michael: | We're having a nice conversation about crying. |
| Bill: | Yes. I'm in the press today for criticizing my competitors for crying, and I don't take it back. They're great people, but I'm sorry. Men don't cry in public, especially. |
| Michael: | Men don't or men shouldn't? |
| Bill: | Shouldn't. |
| Michael: | Why not? Why not? |
| Bill: | Especially when we should be putting on a brave face for our enemies, right? |
| Ann: | And putting on a brave face for the women. I thought it was appalling when Dan Rather cried on TV. |
here's a link to mr. maher's criticism of jon stewart & david letterman, if you care to read what's being referenced here. so it doesn't bother me that much that bill maher said this stuff. why? simply because he is a man. i've never quite understood that whole 'i'm a big strong man' business, but then again - i'm not a man. i mean, huh? men don't have emotions? ok, whatever. the thing is, i know way too many males who do subscribe to that belief, so there's that. i can exonerate bill maher based upon the fact that he's male. so what is ann coulter's excuse? maybe she's part of that 'axis of evil'.
... morespeaking of men & women - well, sort of - i went to the hardware store today to buy a drill bit that i need to finish assembling my kitchen furniture. i saw this power drill/screwdriver/sander/saw/router thing, and i wished so badly that i had the $$ to buy it. it's basically a drill, but with all the different attachments you can turn it into all those other things. i was thinking "how cool is that?!" i was so excited about it. then i thought - should i not be excited about something like this? i mean, isn't this really a male toy? if i cry in public, should i not aspire to own a power drill/screwdriver/sander/saw/router thing?
in other news, i talked to my old employer and apparently the 20-day job is now not a 20-day job, so they don't need any extra help. they do, however, want to 'keep me on the list'. bollocks to them. also - yesterday the temperature was in the 70's or so, tomorrow night it will be 20°. what's up with that?!
random movie quote:
"i don't know why you claim to be sigmund freud."
"why do you claim i'm not sigmund freud?"
"why do you keep asking me these questions?"
"tell me about your mother."
