Re #178/ Donna V.:
1) [...] So, N & T: what accounts for your hatred of beer delivery men? [...] Or does your hatred extend to the entire class of blue collar workers? Do you also hate construction workers, carpenters, plumbers [...] My dad always thought the Democrats were on the side of “the working man.” [...]

Sorry, DonnaV, but your dad was indeed wrong – the Democrats have became a party of an arrogant aristocracy, having only despise for common Americans. (think only of Obama’s pronouncements).

2) [...] Or are you daunted by their masculinity? [...]
DonnaV, I’d come with a correction here – not masculinity, but NORMALCY.
In the current cultural climate, where the media & entertainment eastablishment is full blast inflicting a new type of political correct reality, everything that has a semblance of normalcy is derided and and anything that in a normal society would be considered an aberration is promoted as an edifying model of behavior.
The normal men are things of the past – now effeminate fops have became of standard of normalcy, and, as N&T mightily illustrates this, these creature are not only just some effete fops, but are also a collection of character flaws as well: arrogance, supeficiality, cowardice, you name them.
