Actually Josh,I have a plaid footless sleeper that I never get to wear because this the land of boring weather. I may wear it tonight because it's supposed to get down to a nice,crisp,fall-like 45 degrees tonight.

"...how can a parent not be bothered by someone reading a shirt with those words, as their young kid is nearby?" Not my problem. If my shirt offends you,you may want to re-think squirting what can become another human being from your loins. I wasn't put on this planet to think to myself"I wonder how he/she would feel about this T-shirt today....." http://www.bewild.com/ihaenfrt.html I own a slightly different version of this shirt.

Who Killed Richard Swink?

I totally agree with rickey on this one. I LOVE my country. I have no need to visit other countries. This IS the greatest social experiment since Jesus walked the Earth. Can we improve? You betcha! Are we the best country? Not a chance. For everything that this country lacks compared to other countries,we make up for in our people. Being a rape victim myself,I'd have to say that had I come forward sooner than the statute of limitations expired,I wouldn't mind being named in the press. EVERYONE accused of a crime has the right to face his accuser. I've held that principle for as long as I can remember. Why would I give up something more important than myself just to not be named? I'm not famous. Nobody would give two s***s about me. William Atherton played an egotistical reporter named Richard Thornburg in the first two Die Hard movies. In the second one there's a scene when he is looking out the window and is right next to Holly Gennaro. She asks him why ne wants to see what's going on out the window. He goes into a short diatribe on people's natural curiosity. He says something along the lines of"Everyone has the right to know everything about everybody". I agree with that statement. We DO have the right to know. It's called the 1st Amendment. It's up to us however to set guidelines and standards that toe the line between privacy and free speech. We're starting to fail miserably. I'll give you an example. Here in California,cameras are allowed in the courtroom. Certain things aren't showable like juries or sometimes defendant's faces. The reason they don't allow defendant's faces on hot button court proceedings is so that other inmates watching TV in the dayroom or cells don't decided to exact revenge. Yet,one can go onto CBS 8 or any of the other news sites and see that same person that you just saw with a blurry face in all his/her glory. Another thing I've noticed locally and sometimes nationally is when a girl goes missing and they show her face but two days later when you find out she was raped,they blur it. Makes absolutely no sense.

Sorry Josh. You ARE boring and dull but that's ok. We're ALL boring and dull in our own way. The ones who shine through the opaqueness of boring are the ones like us who see through the bulls*** of life and call out the prudes,prisses and namby pambys in life. I've always held the view that if I wore a t-shirt that said plainly"F*** YOU!" and you got offended by it,that was ok. The way I look at it,nothing can be done about it and there's really nothing to get your panties in a bunch over. Why? First off,you're the one offended,not me. If I was offended by 7 letters on a shirt,I wouldn't be wearing it in the first place. That brings me back to you. What can you do about it? It's a free country. Absolutely nothing can be done. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. That leaves me to continue on my way with a smile and you sitting there fuming over something that you have no control over. Who looks like the bigger idiot? Me or you? That's why I love reading your blogs,Josh. You're like me. You get people to open thier little squinty eyes. Let the world in. It's a big world but not everything is offensive unless you allow it. It's the same with racial epithets. YOU and YOU alone give power to words. Just to get ya'll riled up and frothing at the mouth like a rabid pitbull,here's a list of some racial epithets via Wikipedia.*they really need to start paying us for these links* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_epithet
