Quote of the Day

“A moron writes words. A moron flails about for telling details–declarations, clichés, sentence fragments. A moron owns a frying pan. A moron has an extensive collection of pornography. A moron makes assumptions–about gender roles, about sexuality, about class. Or he fantasizes–about sports cars, Rolexes, cash. He prefers the company of men, but not in a gay way, REALLY. Irony escapes him. A moron pretends that women have no interest in the martial arts because the thought that they might hit him is scary. A moron is not good with words. Not words, not ideas, not talking about men. He is paid by the word. Two-fifty. It doesn’t matter what words he puts down, because those who do not agree with what he says are not men.”

From here, and context.
