PETA is run by people with about as much of a toehold on reality as Vincent Li did.

First, props for covering how stupid this issue is.

In general, weaponized liberal outrage is a devastating resource, and we must only use it for good.

I get why clickbait isn't acceptable to use for some sorts of criticisms, but how do you figure it's not acceptable to use in the case of a misleading headline designed to make people think that a fairly mundane article is not mundane? I take it to mean the same thing. You may not like that it carries with it a much…

One way to describe the 9/11 reference is clickbait, the other one is contextualizing. That's what journalists do. If the headline was "Report: Qatar's World Cup Expected To Take Almost As Many Lives As Cholelithiasis and Other Disorders of Gallbladder, In The United States, In 2010" nobody would have any idea what…

I expect so too. The Economist article actually notes a growing trend in Americans enrolling their kids in Mandarin.

there was no way to prevent what happened to Kevin Westgarth

You're right. All the people on the ice were 100% powerless to stop what was predestined.

You just can't spell "crazy" without "R-AZ".

a gay couple walk into your store. they don't like you, are angry at the world, etc.
they don't buy anything, and leave before even getting to the counter.
and then sue your store for $10000000 for "refusing service based on sexual preferance, etc."
the business will go bankrupt, it has no LEGAL leg to stand on right…

How bout a bill that allows you to provide or deny service to anyone for any reason. You know, a bill that let's you run a business.

I'm turning that into a bumper sticker and putting on every lifted truck I see.

Ah. I see there is some confusion here. Allow me to decode what driving around with a confederate flag on your car (or more likely, your truck) means: "White, southern, racist power." It does not mean your great-great granddaddy fought alongside Lee and that you are proud of your heritage. If he did ride with…

People have a right to commemorate their heritage, and the state would be discriminating if it rejected the group's application

"Fighting for independence" why? So that no one would take away their slaves.

"Don't like rape? don't get raped"

Lulz at "the south will rise again"

"most of the poor ground pounding infantrymen that soaked up bullets in the service of the Confederacy didn't own a slave." That did not stop these people from fighting for the right to own slaves.

@Brian: Cogito Ergo ZOOM!: I would have rammed that car (because I would have been distracted by the artwork) and gladly taken the hit on insurance premiums.

And yet Bubba here is still at large with his plates.
