This came from somewhere. Not me. But I just love the progression.
It illustrates the lesson I hope to instill in my daughter before she finds out the hard way.

And some men are more pig than others.
You won’t see me use this word in the main post very often, but…
If Obama thinks he fucking fools anyone with what he thinks is subtle manipulation via innocent-sounding broly anecdotes, then he’s not smart like a lot of people keep saying, he’s a fucking idiot. And awful damned insulting to anyone who actually respects Ron Reagan. Go bite yourself, Obama.
And then somebody — I don’t remember who it was — turned and said, ‘You know what? What about Gibbs’ tie? What about Gibbs’ tie? That might look good.’ And, frankly, Robert didn’t want to give it up because he thought he looked really good in the tie. But eventually he was willing to take one for the gipper, and so he took off his tie, and I put it on. And that’s the tie that I wore at the national convention. – Obama, once again showing just how slow he thinks everyone else is compared to him.
Real smooth there, sport. Give it up already. The only people who think you might possibly be on par with Reagan are mutants, farm animals, and people who have poor enough convictions about anything that they can easily swing back and forth from election to election – but I guess those are the ones you’re hoping to snow, aren’t you?
But a majority of us, on either side of the fence, see you for the scheming schmuck you are.
Lemur King's Folly 
I always tell my nieces, “All men are pigs but not all men are pigs to all women so find the ones who don’t act too much like a pig to you”.
Huh. Well that certainly sounds rosier than my planned way of putting it to her. I think I’ll try your way instead.
But, but, but, but…. He’s the smartest, greatest, bestest pResident evar!
All his school records prove it! His legal records show his prowess in law. All of the businesses he set up, the tax records show he’s such a perfect businessman. He’s a jenius!

I think I just threw up in my mouth again. Or maybe my stomach-bug back.
OTOH, our step-daughter is finally learning about the man-pig relationship. Bacon not involved. The hard way. Sigh.
He’s a sooper-jenius, mrmacs. Please remember to elevate him to his proper place.
I’m not fit for him to bitch-slap, obviously.
I can only offer one other piece of advice to the S-D… and that is – especially piggish men will behave like pigs and then ask for forgiveness over and over again. First time, yeah, ok that’s a freebie, but after the second and third – ditch the prick.
I’ve seen it happen to family and friends where the gal for some reason feels like there’s something she can do to change him and that *this time* he’ll change and it’ll work out.
We are all beneath HIS vision.
S-D is out of the house, learning life right now. Her choice, and she’s learning well. It was time for the bird to leave the nest, and she’s really grown since she’s left. It hasn’t been easy for her, but it never is for anyone.
There’s that Sam Clemens quote that puts that idea in a most poignant fashion…
Hm…I think he meant “guppy”, not “gipper”.
Or was that “gypper”??
I’m going with “guppy”.
Flush ‘im before he fouls the whole tank!
Yeah, he should have used the “soft” g.
He’s gypped all of us out of our skittle-crapping unicorns.
