There was a cleric in Saudi Arabia who was claiming that if women are allowed to drive, the steering wheel might somehow harm their ovaries. He said this seriously, with a straight face. In 2013.

Same day as the Virginia Tech massacre. (I remember this because when crappy things happen on your birthday, you remember the date.)

Just figured it out....it says “common sense is not that common.”

“Nevertheless, the author does ultimately conclude that “yoga is incompatible with Christian spirituality.””

Hopefully it’s got....some sort of snaps or access panel down there, or something.

“We cannot dismiss the agency of these women in their compliance with their cultural practices.”

This is the second news story I’ve read today where it’s women who are taking an active role in ensuring that other women have less control over their own bodies. Joni Ernst, meet Jumana Nagarwala. You guys can have a nice chat about mutilating genitals.  

My go-to gif in situations like this is usually the Jennifer Lawrence one (nods sarcastically, gives thumbs up)....but it’s not as good as this!

Current resident of Florida feels your pain. This state went for Obama in 2008 and 2012. But in this election....the cities went blue. The backwoods and swamps went red. And Trump managed to dog whistle enough hate and Florida Man(TM) idiocy out of the swamps to win the state.

Joni Ernst is actually female. (You may remember her as the woman who bragged about her skills at castrating bulls when she ran for office.)

What chaps my @ss is that smart gun technology exists. There is technology available that ensures only one particular person is physically able to get a specific gun to fire. That would eliminate a LOT of these accidental shootings.

I’ll bet you know the exact German translation of the phrase “We were only following orders.”

Given her age....this baby was most likely very much planned, organized, arranged, facilitated, assisted; medical troops were brought into play is what I’m saying.

And you KNOW this guy has a history of DV. The abuse cycle doesn’t START at shooting.

I’m wondering if the couple had a kid who was in that classroom. (Unless there are regulations against teachers teaching their own kids?) Maybe the shooter was trying to take out his entire family, not just his spouse. Report indicates a couple children were hurt.

I’m already assuming the shooter’s a white male.

If only Betsy DeVos had been on the case earlier.

Translation: KILL THEM WITH FIRE

They Brexited and got a slug invasion.

Well, American Airlines once allowed an unaccompanied minor to be molested on board their aircraft. That’s....a pretty big fail in my eyes.
