Quote of the day

“You may be thankful that twenty years from now, when you're sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you won't have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, 'Well, your granddaddy shoveled in Louisiana.' No, sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say, 'Son, your granddaddy rode with the great Third Army and a [expletive] named George Patton.'”

George Patton

Word of the day

Execrable

Deserving to be execrated, which is to say detestable and utterly abhorrent; by extension, of the very poorest quality.
