''Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money.....

[Gabi Hayes]

22. my GM, who lived to 109, was a yuuuge limbaugh fan, and corresponded, briefly,

with brian lamb.

her default word was the 'coloreds,' or 'colored people.' every time she said it, I'd ask, what color, gram? purple, green? we'd laugh about it sometimes, but at others, she would get various shades of pissed, and occasionally, go ballistic: 'YOU know what I mean....the N*****S!'

she finally started to mellow in the last few years, even to the point of realizing what a grand spoof the catholic church really is. this, from a woman who had a priest come to our place every week for about 20 years.
she started to question the existence of god.

I never let her off with the colored people thing.
