Strauss & Howe May Have Called It Again

I've mentioned before that I found William Strauss and Neil Howe's Generational Theory pretty darned compelling. I think I've found yet another place where it could be applied to help explain if not the actions of certain individuals, at least the words they use. My bloviations begin here. )

I Had To Laugh

While finishing up the latest long post, I answered the phone. Yet another telemarketer. Ah, but when I asked why she was calling, she said she was from Pro Life, an organization that helps protect the lives of unborn children [et cetera, et cetera]....

I put that in brackets because I started laughing really, really hard. I finally got a word in edge-wise, saying "Oh, boy, have YOU called the wrong house!"
