Welcome to my life.

I'm a self-avowed WordPress Whisperer with a specialization in front-end design. I live in Maryland. I take lovely photos, go to the gym a lot, and opine strongly over design, aesthetics, and politics. I'm prolific on Twitter; I used to post to Flickr; I have a moblog and in my spare time I help out at the SemperFi WP Support forums. Read more about me.

If I may split some hairs

So it’s “unladylike” for the FLOTUS to engage in some sexual humor at a venue where the President is generally the subject of a humorous roast (stoked by himself as well) but it is “unmanly” for any male to be less than boorish?

More substantial opinions: Jeff Goldstein, Bill of INDC Journal, and Prof. J. Joyner. Here’s a choice quote from Goldstein:

Leaving aside the rather ridiculous charge that any use of non-G-rated language is intended to appeal to Jane Fonda or Richard Gere, let me just note that the measure of one’s conservatism is NOT tied to one’s vocabulary so much as it is to one’s political philosophy. And in many ways social conservatism—with its desire to dictate “proper” or “decorous” speech—is simply dressing the PC-sensibilities of the left in the starched, high-collared clothing of neo-Victorian morality.

Interestingly enough, the most “polite” and “proper” specimens from “high society” are the biggest, hypocritical backstabbing pieces of shit that I have met in in my life. At least they don’t cuss when they gossip over high tea and lace gloves, eh?
