I Confess. I Use the Phrase Trailer Trash Way Too Much.

It is sorta like that HBO series "Deadwood," where half the cast used the word cocksucker as a random expletive or direct insult, as frequently as a Republican pundit or Fox News talker uses the word socialist.

Anyway. A couple days ago, I was thinking that, and that maybe I should try to use the word ghetto more and cut down on using trailer trash. I mean, let's get real here. They are two sides of the same coin. I see Caucasians who are as ghetto as some crack ho from East St. Louis . . . like the young suburban wasp-a-gangster I saw in Westfield NJ, jailing the waistband of his baggy jeans below his ass like an extra in Fiddy-Cent video. And some blacks are clearly trailer trash, like Alan Keyes showing up at Notre Dame, to make a stink and get arrested for trespass and disorderly, for no reason but for his being an ill mannered bore, no matter his resume and education.

And Michael Steel is the Exacta winner; dude can be trailer trash and ghetto, all at the same time. He is special.

But ghetto actually has more of a racial tinge to it. So that won't do. Now trash is trash, but only using that word doesn't cut it. So I need something new like, "Not the brightest member of the Palin Family?"

I'll be working on it some more.

PS. I take back any kind thing I have ever said about Joe Scarborough. I just heard audio of him not only supporting the sociopathic practice of torturing, but telling total lies to do that.

What a fucking evil liar.
