Credit where credit's due, that's Hitch's line.

No one has a right to have a job.

He's alleging a violation of Title VII, a federal law, so Michigan laws are moot. Most lower federal courts accept that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is covered by Title VII as being a form of gender discrimination (though I agree that Title VII should be amended to make that more clear).

The greatest fact about Leland Melvin: he started out life as a football player, but after being injured he had to find another career.

The closest analogy would be income tax.

Boys, put they rulers away. They're all big.

We're fighting Assad's enemies, so I don't think he's that stupid.

Look on the bright side: the airbag worked!

My father had a late '70s Lincoln Continental. One day he was getting into it while it was parked on the street. A Honda Civic tried to pass too close while the Lincoln's door was still cracked open. The Civic had to have it's front bumper replaced. The Lincoln needed a few dents hammered out.
