I don’t know who this Savage guy is; when I first read about this, I thought it was that guy who writes some relationship advice column, but it obviously isn’t. Either this clown is a complete idiot, or he’s being deliberately inflammatory and offensive.
[/QUOTE]
That’s Dan Savage with the advice column. Dan can be somewhat annoying all on his own, but doesn’t even come within a lightyear of Michael Savage. He’s being deliberately inflammatory and offensive, because that’s his schtick…he’s a right-wing shock jock with his own talk radio show.

Thank you! The name sounded vaguely familiar, but I didn’t recall the advice guy being so offensive.

I meant the majority of the time in this article, on autism, that was posted by the OP. If the entire article is longer and contains other elements, I can’t speak to them, and I haven’t really read anything else he’s written, although I did read his book on the seven deadly sins years ago, I thought it was amusing.

Boy have you got your Savages mixed up. DAN Savage did indeed write a book on the seven deadly sins, Skipping to Gommorah, and it was indeed amusing. He also wrote a book about his big gay adoption and another book about his big gay wedding. So yeah, different guy.

Wiener (sausage) German ‘Wiener’ (Würstchen) (which looks like and lent its name to the American hot dog), is sausage from the Austrian city of Wien (English Vienna).
A weiner would be a person who indulged in wein (which is cognate to and rhymes with the English word wine).
[/QUOTE]
But the quote I was nitpicking didn’t say weiner it said weinerschnitzel which is a veal (most of the time) filet done in the style of Vienna. Nothing close to sausage. Or a penis as was implied. Unless ones penis looks like a veal filet after it was pounded by a hammer, breaded and suateed.
Dude, that’s what Savage liked. He’d roll it in breadcrumbs and fry it in a pan before engaging in homosexual acts with Allen Ginsburg, under the influence of medicinal herbs and LSD. Somehow he got off on the pain, and the aroma.
Posted without comment (except that the guy makes me want to puke).

He gets half a point for sticking by what he said instead of weasel backpedaling. He’s a stain, but the people calling for his firing are in the wrong. Just don’t listen to the guy.
The good news is that tv/radio execs tend to vote with their pocket books.
Savage was fired in 2003 for his anti-gay outburst, but not until after he was losing major sponsors(P&G, Kraft, Dell) left and right for his offensive opinions.
Now, Aflac Insurance has cut their sponsorship. It’s T-10 and counting…
