Bruce said, “You break it down by talking about it … How about a word like ‘clap’?”
“Well, ‘clap’ is a better word than ‘cocksucker,'” Solden replied.
“Not if you get the clap from a cocksucker,” Bruce rejoined.

Speaking of Salon.com, did anyone catch Joe Conason on Crossfire? Every single Liberal in the world should watch it, and learn. It was awesome.
And if you are sick to death of the myth of the liberal media, (meaning that you’re looking for a non-corporate, progressive, honest news source) you should really subscribe to Salon.
