Quote of the Day (Lobley)

“No one gets embarrassed anymore. Do I need to list the things that used to be embarrassing? Underwear sticking out of pants, rear ends sticking out pants, your kid having bad manners in public, taking off your clothes for the camera, girls beating up girls on the Internet, talking about your colonoscopy on your cellphone when everyone can hear you, lying in print, getting caught cheating people out of their hard-earned money.”—The Record (Bergen County, N.J.) columnist Pam Lobley, “Lying Is Wrong, But You Can’t Beat the Perks,” August 4, 2008, on author-letter forger Lee Israel
