That rolls in to some serious holy she-it territory. I'm not normally a drooler but where is that bucket? Here you go!

Neil Gaimnan posted this on his Tumbrl like 2 years ago: "I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which included the phrase “In these days of political correctness…” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.” Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase “politically correct” wherever we could with “treating other people with respect”, and it made me smile. You should try it. It’s peculiarly enlightening. I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking “Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!” IMHO this is really simple. I love this. I certainly have seen so-called political correctness go too far, but more often I've seen bigots use the term derisively to defend their intolerance of anyone who is different. They'll make a racist or sexist or homophobic comment, and then when someone expresses anger over it, they'll sneer, "Oh, sorry. I guess I wasn't being politically correct" as if the person who objected to their bigotry is just being thin-skinned. Each case has to be decided on its own merits as to whether or not it's silly. To my mind, constantly coming up with new terms like "vertically challenged" because we mustn't admit anyone is short is ridiculous--I'm short, and see nothing wrong with it so I don't require a euphemism. But some things that would be considered "politically correct" are also morally and legally correct, and while it can be hard to know the difference, I hate seeing the term "politically correct" used dismissively. If nothing else, it should inspire careful consideration of how we treat and talk about our fellow human beings. Murly, you always seem to display words of wisdom and caring for others, whenever you post. Makes me wish, yet again, that we had more of a chance to chat and get to know each other a little, while we were in the same row together at QAL in Las Vegas last July . That was quite an amazing night, wasn't it??? I was so excited, I could hardly breathe---and my daughter kept a respectful few feet away from me throughout the concert just so I could take it all .....So now we await TOH!

Isn't this the second time we've seen Adam out with Drake in the last week or so? They are both looking good and Adam looks especially gorgeous in this picture.

This time they were at a private club for people in the arts together. My guess is that one of them was a member and then the other one joined. You need two members to recommend you to join the SoHo Club.
