You can say "Mo-Fo" just as long as you don't say "motherfucker:" The Boston Globe refused to print today's Doonesbury comic in which an injured soldier used the phrase "Son of a bitch!" yet ran Mallard Fillmore which showed John Kerry referring to a Secret Service agent as an "S.O.B." Almost everyone knows what S.O.B. means...so why make a big deal over "bitch?"
In typical Mallard Fillmore fashion, the same joke has run for two or three days about Kerry and the secret service agent and some gibberish about whiny babies (apparently forgetting which candidate actually went to 'Nam). Mallard Fillmore is really not comedy because it is so openly partisan as to fail to mention any missing weapons of mass destruction, or anything that might be less than flattering to conservatives. In fact, Verbal Jazz reads Mallard Fillmore only because the strip is so one sided and partisan and it is funny to see how far the cartoonist will stretch the truth, or not analyze information in order to make a pre-ordained point. Verbal Jazz believes in making fun of everyone.
