What's with the asterisks?

Yes, astute readers of The Malcontent noticed that in the preceding post on Tom Ridge, asterisks were used in place of a vowel and a consonant in the f-word.

It was a quote, folks. The faithful reader quoted is a man of sensitivity and breeding (though not so cultured as to avoid the use of "ass"), and we reflect his comments accurately.

As for The Malcontent, well, we love the f-word. We drop the f-bomb in conversations with 3-year-olds, even while recognizing that we are teaching them a form of conversational laziness that avoids more complex descriptive or emotive language.

But, that's how we roll at The Malcontent. We don't give a poo.
