There's an episode of the TV show M*A*S*H where Hawkeye is pursuing a great looking nurse, but he's also busy doing a good deed for a GI and his Korean girlfriend (setting it up so they can get married). When he finally gets back to her she wants to know where he was (and why he wasn't with her). When he tells her what he was up to she let's her displeasure show visibly. After Hawkeye questions her further she refers to Koreans as "gooks". Hawkeye, a guy who was usually portrayed as having virtually no scruples with women whatsoever, walks out on her.

I was about 13 when I saw that TV show for the first time, but I know it had an impact on me. I may never have been as successful with women as Hawkeye Pierce was but I do have my standards. Ann Coulter is way below my standards. I don't even think she's attractive. Margaret Carlson (on The Capital Gang) is more my type.

And Undertoad...THIS WAS AS FUNNY AS ANYTHING I EVER SAW ON M*A*S*H (which I think was one of the funniest shows ever on TV btw). Laugh-out-loud funny (I did several times). Thanks for leading me out of LGF hell...this forum seems a lot more hospitable.

And no. I've never met Ted Rall. Who is he?
