Clint Eastwood and Kathy Griffin Should Get Together

Here's a quick two-fer. A tale of two gonadical nicknames, if you will.

First, here's Kathy Griffin on CNN, introducing what I'll call "The un-Clark" to the festivities.



I know it's an old joke, but there's a reason why it gets a laugh every time. I also like the added wrinkle of using the plural form.

Then, there's Clint Eastwood in the latest Esquire:

We live in more of a pussy generation now, where everybody's become used to saying, "Well, how do we handle it psychologically?" In those days, you just punched the bully back and duked it out. Even if the guy was older and could push you around, at least you were respected for fighting back, and you'd be left alone from then on.

Yeah, Clint, but to be fair, you were also just as likely to be tried for sorcery in those days.

I've gotta say, if I'm picking my own generation's name, I'll take "Pussy Generation" over "Baby-Boomer" any day. It sounds kind of cool, like a process that you'd kill to have the patent for.

Does all of this portend a coarsening of our national dialog? I frakkin' hope so. I'm tired of having to out myself as a sci-fi dork every time I feel like dropping an f-bomb.
