“I succeeded by saying what everyone else is thinking.” – Joan Rivers #RIPJoanRivers
In this day and age of Hyper Political Correctness the loss of Joan Rivers and her tell-it-like-it-is attitude is a loss for America.
Best part of watching the Oscars was watching Joan carve ’em up on the red carpet.
You see people like Joan who tell it like it is and make us laugh get replaced by “safe” vanilla talking heads that don’t dare stir things up and tow the corporate line ever fearful of saying the wrong thing and getting canned because someone far too sensitive didn’t get the joke.
That’s the world in which we now live. The world in which big media outlets can’t hire women like Joan Rivers because they’re scared shitless that she might utter the words “midget pickles” and a whole contingency of midget parents will freak out and call for a boycott of the channel.
Thanks for the laughs Joan. Hope you’re in a good place with decent plastic surgeons.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Ditto Thanks for expressing it so well.

Glad to know you won’t be taking the safe route and towing the corporate line. However, I simply don’t understand why you insist on insulting Vanilla by using it as a proxy for boring — and this isn’t the first time you’ve insulted this wonderful, exotic flavor.
So let’s set the record straight right here: Vanilla isn’t boring. It’s derived from an orchid! Are orchids boring? Have you ever looked at an orchid flower? Not boring.
If you’re not careful, you’ll raise the ire of the Sri Lanka Vanilla Growers association. And believe me — if you think midget parents are bad, you REALLY don’t want Sri Lanka vanilla growers after you.
If you want a metaphor for boring, why not use something that really IS boring … like like golf. Have you ever watched golf on TV? I rest my case . . .
BTW, for all you golf loving midget parents out there, this is Peter not Vickie. Don’t blame her.
