Sufferage & John Flory
JF writes the following about
women's suffrage:
"First, I don't actually think women should be denied the vote and I never have"
This is simply not true. Here is a direct quote from him from last year, which I have transcribed from my collection of tapes. If his manner of speech seems odd, it is because he does indeed speak very differently from the way he writes:
"Them goddam womens never deserve to vote no way. Things was much better 'n theys was chained to the radiator [pronouced with a short 'a' in the first syllable-ed] doin' what they were always good at, like having babies and tendin' to the young-uns and what not. Then they got to believe they could think and all, and well, you've seen what's happened, right Don? Heh. [here he slapped my knee] [sighs] Well, they's sure purty though, ain't they. Hell yes I want another drink!"
Fun With Election '04
The state I live in looks like it'll be locked up for Kerry, unless something close to miraculous happens. So, a co-worker is trying to figure out how he can vote absentee in a midwestern state, where the election is likely to be closely contested, so that he can help defeat the Evil Bush. I'm not sure if he cares whether or not his effort is legal, as long as the vote counts.
I don't think I even need to comment on this.
More King Of the Hill Hilarity
From an episode where Connie wants to wrestle on the boys' team:
Peggie: Did a woman judge joining the Supreme Court ruin it? Huh?
Hank: Yes, she did. And that woman was Earl Warren.
