Poor Michelle. Her entire life is a “sacrifice” of what makes decent people happy, on the altar of resentment and envy. I’d rather be here in my crowded suburban home than in a hotel in Copenhagen any day.

I can’t find that publication, so perhaps you can provide a cite? It is certainly true that saying “Me and Fred went to the park” is incorrect, but saying the “They gave the presents to me and Fred” is fine.

Copenhagen is a bonus destination for the First Muslims: they can motorcade over the bridge to Malmo, Sweden.

“They gave the presents to me and Fred” is fine.

"Me and Fred" is correct grammatically, because the pronoun is in the objective case. However, it's customary to put the other person ahead of the speaker, "Fred and me." A matter of etiquette rather than grammar.

Good point. I’d pay to see the video of Zero and Me-chelle cruising through the Moslem ghetto of Malmo.

BS Mabell hates Okra’s guts.

Interesting accident?

An article in this week’s The New Yorker about the horrific gangs that dominate Rio.

I thought the Chicago killing of that boy would harm Chicago’s chances but Rio makes Chicago look like, er, Copenhagen.

Sorry, but the article is behind a subscription wall.
