Last week I got to sit down with comedian, actor and author Denis Leary. Denis was politically incorrect well before political incorrectness became politically correct. He's an original -- and a very nice guy.
We talked about his new book Why We Suck.
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

1. Dear Br.* Rocca,
Correctness schmorrectness. I want to like you, but I think you need a sabbatical. You should have a contest to see where you should go to get jolted back to life.
More of the O'Leary interview please!
P.S.
*Br.stands for blogger not brother

2. Denis is also sexy!
Bullies are the WORST. That's why I have so much respect for advocates, like my Mo. (Kudos to you on the "CNN" post, babe.)
And, "Good Will Hunting" is another Kick-Ass movie!
"I got her number. How 'bout them apples?"
Oh, and, babe, Jilly Kill Joy obviously adores you too. I don't think she realizes how transparent she is, though.
It's okay, Jilly, I completely understand. :)

3. Gotta love Dennis!
Hey, since "I'm an asshole" also I'll mention that I have a new post up about the nature of reality. Sorry Moe. I'm shameless.

Oh, Yum...
I agree... I don't get 'The Oprah', but I respect her (god-like?) presence among some of the masses. Well I say golly gee & good for her - she is using her power for Good & not Evil.
I also agree w/ gg about Jill. Crystal clear, w/ a dash of Troll pinched in for shits & gimmicks. When people make up their own abbreviations (& explain them), they are trying too hard.
I love me some Leary. I'm glad to see him so stable - not so manic, as in the past - he's as good on the flipside.
I might actually have to read that book.
Thanks for keeping me current.

guest starring William Shatner's toupee
Remember Kids-Rescue Cat is coming to a Mall near you! Sign up to be a Rescue Ranger online (ask your mommy and daddy for their credit card number-or just look for the shiny piece of plastic in their wallet!)

8. According to Thomas M. Sipos of Blogcritics online magazine:
"Politically correct" was first used negatively by 1980s conservatives, following the publication of Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind. Conservatives embraced the term "politically incorrect" as a badge of honor to contrast their championing of free speech against campus leftists who used speech codes to suppress debate on sensitive topics. This was also when the term first became widely known by its acronym, "PC."
