While "Moneybags" Grinspan can support that no-good-louse-of-a-fiance, not every man is comfortable having his balls pruned like a bonsai tree to the tittered delight of his he-bitch girlbrute wife or girlfriend. Anyway, I'm gonna read this article now. 

This whole "I'm-an-asshole" personality (whether put on or real) should get chucked in the trash along with the college beer-guzzling attitude IG disparages. Grow up, grow up, grow up!

You have made my day. :-)

...Do you mean specifically MY attitude, or the attitude of my and my own? Because there have been 2 or 3 other anonymous commenters in the past six months or so that have expressed, um, a degree of a disdain for the way I talk on the site. And I can't tell if it's all just one crazy person, or if everyone feels that way.

If you all just let me know, I'll be sure to take the appropriate action. And I'm sure we can work something out.

Craig, of course I deplore immature sexism and defensive "man-talk" in anyone. It's an epidemic. However, you are a personality, and a strong personality, on this site and a "leader" (God help us!) in this virtual community, so, I guess I am holding you to an unfair higher standard than the average asshole. Forgive me, if you can. You of course have the right to express whatever you want, but my response to your comments is nearly always that you come across as an immature, self-centered, sexist asshole sadly holding on to some image of male freedom and privilege that seems to be related to social status (men make more money, etc) and getting "laid." It's sort of tiresome. You seem like an intelligent guy under all this, and like any good Jewish mother I worry you'll never find a nice girl to love.

Ugh. You sound just like my wife. She may be a lawyer that earns alot more than I do at the auto shop, but that doesnt give her any excuse for thinking shes better than me or anything. When I get home, I just want my feet rubbed and whats more "liberating" than making me smile?

Liberation is being treated like a whole, individual, unique person, not being relegated to a role (ie treating your wife as "wife" instead of as the person she is).

Maybe you should get a man before you decide massaging the corns on my feet doesnt put happyness in a lady's life.

..And like that, I've been replaced.

Anyway, Anon, I'll make a deal with you. I'll make an attempt to clean up my act if you start posting under a single username so I know I'm offending the same person when I slip.

And, much obliged on your semi-compliments! Of course, it's not unfair to apply a higher standard to me over your average asshole. What's unfair is applying a lower standard to them than me! Maybe we can help fix society in some small way if we do that.

So tell me, as a good Jewish mother, is there a nice Jewish daughter somewhere who inherited your intellectual chutzpah?

Despite similar last name prefixes, I expunge myself from Larry's point of view.

Also speaking as a Jewish mother, I find Craigs humorous, sarcastic and self depricating comments a breath of fresh air compared with the fanatical, stodgy, buzz/bibliography quoters trying to show how smart they think they are jokers - that usually post. I know that last sentence sort of hurts to read or say - but you get the point.

"Fanatical, stodgy, buzz/bibliography quoters trying to show how smart they think they are."

Craig, this is yet another example of why we need to make the tagline at the top of the page changeable. In an ideal world (Henderson recently published some fine work demonstrating once and for all that Arouet simply never even understood Leibniz, so please understand that I use "ideal" with no debt whatsoever to that posturing French fraud's willfully distortive caricature of a mind far finer than his own; my spirit, as always, is with Thomas More, whose vision, mutatis mutandis, is carried like the very Arc of the Covenant into the third millennium by humanistic titans and modern-day Joshuas such as the martyr Wolfowitz and, most especially, Ahmed Chalabi, whose star will rise again) we would have that quote up as a tagline for six hours today.

I'm serious. Is there really no way we can get a pretty but easily changeable text field up there instead of a feckin' JPEG? The doozies keep coming.

I usually get paid the big bucks to come up with taglines - for Jewcy, no charge.

Mom, thanks again for speaking out. And, not to nitpick, Joey, but it's a GIF, not a JPG. Just sayin'.
