Is That A Bad Word, Too?
-
Former Senator Alan Simpson, on a Social Security board, is in trouble for likening Social Security to "a milk cow with 310 million t-ts." Women's groups are seizing on the comment, for which he's apologized, as a chance to demand his firing. Yeah, the "t-word" is offensive to a lot of people, but they're really upset that he's pointing out that he's a fiscal conservative pointing out that we don't have the money to keep going with Social Security the way it's been. It's amusing that the left wing, which says it's for free speech, is offended when someone actually exercises free speech, while conservatives, who want to fine people for uttering even mild expletives on TV and radio, are happy to justify using the term in this particular case.
