Yes I'm still bitter the Giants won the Super Bowl, damn it!

In Richmond, Virginia, state legislators have little to do with their time. So Senator Patricia Ticer has introduced a bill that would remove all statutory references to the terms "mentally retarded" and "mental retardation," instead replacing them with the oh-so-friendly and feel-good "intellectually disabled" and "intellectual disability."

Are you fucking kidding me? How is "intellectually disabled" that much better than "mentally retarded?" Now if you really want to put a positive word-spin on things, how about replacing "mentally retarded" with "Eli Manning?" Then, you're not only equating the intellectually disabled with a (god damned) Super Bowl MVP, but you're showing them just how handi-capable even the dimmest of bulbs can be.
