Sex Fiends 0
My daughter was a Girl Scout.
If she had had to deal with this level of whackjobbery when she was eight or nine or ten years old, I would have been seriously annoyed.
Wingnuts are obsessed with sex and are determined to force that obsession on the rest of us, rather keep it in the privacy of their bedrooms, as discrete persons do.

“I don’t think his intention was to kill himself,” Zavala said. “He had the gun in his hand, spinning the chamber, and pulling the trigger.”

“Suffer the Children” 0
It’s the new Republican rage.
I am confident that racism and the implicit assumption that mostly little black kids benefit from free school lunches underlie this. Once again, Republicans play to their racist base.
“Science Is True Whether or Not You Believe in It” 0
Excerpt:
We live in a country that guarantees free speech, . . . but it’s not a country that guarantees that anything you say is correct.
The rest is moved below the fold because it autoplays on some systems.

Especially when it is a house made of straw.

Aside:
I’m so old that I can remember when North Carolina was considered the leading light of the South.
It was, maybe, three or four years ago.

. . . or is it?
“Shoot First” 0
It’s not just a Florida thing.
Performance Art 0
What the Booman said.
Afterthought:
I have long thought that the concept of “performance art” is dumb.
If it is art, it can stand on its own. It does not need to be “performed.” If it needs to be “performed,” it’s not art, it’s chutzpah.
Also, “art installations” are crap. If it needs to be “installed,” it’s not art. It’s a washing machine.
