A fundamentalist radio preacher has announced that pro-choice people will be aborted by demons in Hell over and over again forever. He has not specified the mechanism by which this could be achieved. Further evidence for Robert Anton Wilson’s remark that fundamentalists believe that the entire Universe was designed and built by something so mean and petty you wouldn’t trust it to put together an outhouse.

Third rail

They used to say that Social Security was the third rail of American politics: touch it and you die. To some extent the Republicans found a form of virtual rubber gloves by suggesting that Social Security could be improved by attaching it to the ever-increasing free enterprise stock market, although for some reason that idea lost favor in 2008.

Now there’s another one. Milo Yiannopoulos, having spewed enough hatred for POC, Jews, Muslims, women, and Trans* people that decent human beings would have nothing to do with him, suddenly lost millions of others by coming out in favor of adult/teen sex (and specifically adult/teen gaysex, which presumably is even worse), saying it worked for him when he was 14. He lost a book contract and a couple of jobs, and now we’re hearing that what’s wrong with Lord Dampnut and his lovable sidekick Bannon Boy is that they have Milo cooties.

Serena Williams Is Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year, which is great, except that the LA Times thought it would be cute to have her run against a horse.

Thanx to Feministing

Woodrow Wilson wasn’t just the first great promoter of the idea that we should send Americans to get killed in the effort to enforce democracy on the whole world. He was also a degenerate racist who undid most of the modest progress Roosevelt and Taft made in desegregating the American government. Ta-Nehisi Coates discusses.
