I had read excerpts from this speech, but never in its entirety. Excellent recommendation.

Not offensive for the usual “that’s not funny and I’m offended” reasons but because Taran is a conspicuous example of the absolute and complete failure of survival of the fittest that’s been short-circuited in the northern states. How is he still alive? I just don’t get it. He was a load that should’ve been swallowed. He was a baby that should’ve wound up as roach-food in some landfill. He should’ve been the headliner in a snuff-film. So why I ask you, why is he still here ejaculating wrack and ruin on the human genome?
