You sure do watch a lot of daytime TV. You should really quit if it riles you so.

Well compared to a tax attorney, I suppose I might be considered financially lacking, but I’m rich in family and friends so no, I’m not poor.

I’m not mean spirited toward those who have less than me. I’d rather be considered a kind lower middle class chick than a rich asshole.

If you consider a grandmother a tough guy, then I suppose I am.

Nothing’s changed with you. Sad.

My grandma was a tough guy. Bust yo’ ass with a ‘switch’ soon as look at you, and not spill a droplet of her sweet tea. And if you even thought about being a wise guy on a message board, she would break hell loose on you and remind you that the internet is _serious business_.  
But why do people try to use “poor” as an insult? People are usually born into poverty, and still manage to make great music, art and all kinds of accomplishments, all the time being the coolest cats I know. I lover poor people!

Not “people”, just Rand Rover.

Me neither. I’m just mean-spirited towards the mean-spirited, which includes liberal douches.

Shit. I did. But! I was already poor when I married him.

I don’t punch people, but I do have a Little List of those whom I would like to backhand slap. This is by no means complete.  
My ex-director who made my work life a living hell for 4 years. I may even have to kick her in the kidneys once she’s down.

My very weird next door neighbor for scoping me and my daughter out whenever we take out the trash etc. Him I’d knee in the groin as well. I’m funny like that.

Bill O’Reilly–I bet he cries.  
All those “judges” and all those “Jerry Springer” type show people. Ugh.  
Oprah for being a bloviated mass of ego and narcissism.  
Glenn Beck  
Anne Coulter  
Andy Shaw (political reporter for local ABC news here. Chicagoans will understand).  
Rod Blagoyovich. No I’m not going to look up the spelling.  
Mel Gibson for being such a jerk.  
Sarah Silverman–ditto.  
Carlos Mencia for being unfunny, unattractive and in syndication.  
That stupid black chick on The View (not Whoopie).  
That stupid, mouthy white chick on The View (Elizabeth?).  
Hell, ALL the “ladies” on The View–including Ms Walters (but not Whoopie–I like Whoopie, even when she talks crazy shit).  
My MIL, my SIL and her husband.

There are more, but I don’t want to take up too much of your time.

Also, blowing out your ass about something that you have absolutely no ability to actually accomplish is the sine qua non of the internet tough guy. Therefore, your characterization of yourself as a grandma only enhances your internet tough guy status, it doesn’t diminish it.

I don’t know much about the guy, but for some reason I would want to punch Jeremy Piven. Him and Tom Green. Everyone else I can think of has been mentioned. Trying to think of a woman, but and Nancy Grace has been taken.
