Who the hell says things like this? The same person who also says this:

I admire those who join armies, whether America's or the Taliban's: for their discipline, for their loyalty to their buddies and to their principles, for their sacrifices to be away from home.




And from the nanny-state files...

If you really want Mayor Bloomberg to do something about the snow, just tell him that people are enjoying it.
