Some of the books these absolute monsters are looking to ban include...Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five

There’s no way in hell I’m letting my kids read ANY of these books. If I don’t make a rule forbidding it, how else will I guarantee my kids read these books?! 

I wonder if Fahrenheit 451 will be on the banned list.

There’s also the offensive idea that trained librarians don’t know appropriate books for children and need oversight by a group of parents. Last I checked, a librarian needs a Masters degree. Anyone can be a parent.

I remember in high school there was a sort of “banned book” week where some do-gooder panties-in-a-bind organization put out a list of books that shouldn’t be on the shelves of public school libraries. Our librarian pulled those books and put them on a table with a big “banned books” poster smack-dab in the middle of…

I’m from Missouri and fuck this guy. I’m sure he preaches (literally) small government except when it comes to womens’ bodies and taboo books. Then they want to legislate the shit out of it. Who knew the library was the modern day mall where you had to worry about leaving your child unattended and what they might…

Henry Jones Sr.’s line to Indy in that scene has become a staple of conversations with my kids here in Texas:

Tempest in a teapot.    No one in Missouri can read.   Pointless law.

Phyllis Schlafly used nannies so she could concentrate on the career she denied she had. Her niece confirmed she used nannies.

And then if someone dates to object, they'll say "Oh jeez, it was just a joke. Stop being so sensitive!" ( or some other passive aggressive b.s.)

This kind of asshole? This was not his first violation of a woman.

When a person does something like this to somebody else in public like that, it’s an implicit assertion to everyone who sees it and to the person they’re doing it to: “Look at what I can do to embarrass you. Look at how I can get others to laugh at you by humiliating you. Look at how I can control how others see you…

Dammit, you chucklefuck, your intentions were perfectly clear. You wanted to hurt and embarrass a total stranger because some stray gross impulse darted across your lizard brain and being a white male, you never even thought to resist or question it. You honestly expected her to find that funny or at least “laugh it…

Don’t be too impressed with his medals, there’s a lot of show in there. He did go through the usual military training expected of all British male members of the royal family and did three years of Royal Navy duty but nothing spectacular.

Eh, speaking as a Japanese liberal who’s come around to our monarchy, I think they can serve a certain purpose—namely, if they take their jobs seriously, they can basically take on all the ceremonial and diplomatic nicety roles to free up the Prime Minister and other high officials from many duties (or engage in more…

Oh man, now I know what to get my cousin for Christmas. But which right wing failed political figure should I get to torture her? And what should they say? 

That reference would have completely passed me by, if I hadn’t just searched for Sugar Ray on Wikipedia, to see if I should have heard of them.

Ok G/O, you got your click.

I’m not even remotely into the royals (but I will click on anything on Jezebel) and it kind of broke my heart when she said “Thank you for asking. Not many people have asked if I’m okay.”
