Quote of Day Debut - Raymond Chandler

I am starting a new feature here entitled Quote of the Day. To inaugurate this new feature I'm making it a Double Quote of the Day.

"There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.”

~ From Raymond Chandler's 1938 short story "Red Wind"


"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

~ From Anonymous
