I swear on a stack of Bibles AND a stack of Torahs, I did NOT post this from the Onion. Un *BLEEPING* believable.

Well that’s what you get for engaging in public intercourse.

Un *BLEEPING* believable. No, it isn't. Considering how dumbed down modern America has become, it is completely believable.

Sounds like the guy who was raked over the coals for using the term niggardly to describe a budget increase by an ignorant black official who didn’t know the meaning or origin of the term.

The homo part of the word was politically charged????
What about homo sapiens, or homologous, or homogenized, or homonym?
What a bunch of ignorant wankers.

“an ignorant black official”
It wasn’t just an ignorant black official; it was a black lawyers’ association...
To: Impala64ssa
Reminds me of the apocryphal politician who was said to have declared that his opponent's wife had been a thespian before their marriage...

It was one of the group in particular who pressed the case, but the rest of the ignorant black lawyers blindly followed.

I would not be surprised if Tim Torkildson’s daughter were a thespian.

Tim Torkildson says after he wrote the blog on the website of his employer, Nomen Global Language Center What did expect, working for a feminist lot.

Mr. Torkildson's employer obviously is suffering from LCD which is also known as LABA.
From the Freeper addendum to the ICD-10:
321.0 SPLAT Liberal Cerebral Defenestration (LCD) or Liberal Acquired Brain Absence (LABA), Complete loss of rationality, cognition, and cerebration due to indiscriminately keeping one's mind so far open that the brain falls out. First and subsequent encounters.

Obamaphone, homophone. It’s easy to get confused.
To: Impala64ssa
***As Torkildson tells it, Woodger said he could not trust him and that the blog about homophones was the last straw.***
From this is seems like Torkildson was on thin ice to begin with. And he wasn't trusted to boot.
When they want to get rid of you, any excuse will do.

The DC bureaucrat who was FIRED for describing a budget as being “niggardly”:
His defense was as depressing as the attack:
His ENTIRE defense was, “I am a homosexual”. Not, “niggardly is a REAL WORD”, and not, “The SOUND of words should be outweighed by their actual MEANINGS”. Just identity politics.
I mean that both the attack and also the defense resorted AT NO POINT to logic-based arguments.
My understanding is that some time later this brave, articulate homo was re-hired, so
.there was a happy ending?
Sorta, I guess.

It depends. By “happy,” do you mean gay?

This was a popular resort in the Catskills, aka the "Jewish Alps". Freddie Roman and Joey Bishop performed there quite often. And what do we do about the town of Homossassa, FLA?
