I am reminded of an incident, reported at the time, when Lizzie
Borden's sister came to visit her while she was in jail. The sister came
in and said, in an even tone of voice, "Quite the situation you've caused."
and then proceeded to say not another word the entire hour. Neither did
Lizzie. In the uptight (nay, repressed) WASP culture in which the Bordens
lived, this was the equivalent of a screaming row.

Grubman, or Borden?

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding the question.

The original discussion revolved around (well, not the *original* one...)
the question of was it PC to tie or drag gay folks. Then somebody
said that lefties were just as pc as righties, so I suggested that very
few lefties roughed up the opposition as much as the rednecks do.

Then somebody suggested that lizzie grubman would be a candidate for that
honor - which made me laugh quite a bit, give that it was a good call.

Now you're talking about lizze borden - quite a different person than
lizzie grubman. They really did come from opposite ends of the spectrum.
Not *polar* opposites, mind you - borden was middle class while grubman
is very much upper-crusty.

I was just unsure as to how things got from one lizzie to the next.
