Rules on epithets

If you’re white, you shouldn’t say the “N-word.” Why would you think it’s okay? And why would you want to say it?

I embrace my pejorative — it’s one of the few perks. I can use the “F-word”; heteros shouldn’t.

This isn’t hard to understand, and just because the Dr. Laura’s of the world can’t — or won’t — grasp it doesn’t mean the rest of us should suffer under the thumb of the language cops.

Review du jour

Can’t resist. The reviewer is a man in his 30s, FYI:

Selena Gomez & The Scene – Round and Round
I HAD to post this one, because I want to get something off of my chest about it. For some reason, I wanted to hate Selena Gomez, and for a while now, I kind of have. I don’t know why, but I just have. With that being said, I recently heard this song for like the 10th time, and yet again, I didn’t want to like it, but low and behold I realized something; this song is actually quite brilliant. Not only is it catchy and super saccharine sweet, but it shows the total likability of Selena Gomez, and it highlights probably the very reason I didn’t want to like her. Well, obviously, that was a futile battle that I am happy to finally concede defeat over. Now, I can enjoy this sweet decadence in peace!
