Wonderful article.

I have to confess I don't mind the word "lame," but "crutch" always gets to me. It's stupid and offensive, and I'm so pleased to have something to link to instead of just saying brightly: "Please don't compare your brother's alcohol problem with my awesome and helpful crutches!"
