Haha of course not, because it's the Supreme Court picking which religions to sanction and not sanction and fuck you the Supreme Court can do whatever it wants.

The Toast : How To Emotionally Devastate A Very Specific Type Of Person

Well there's probably a lot more to it but I don't have a TERRIBLY lengthy one, but the short version is that he's curmudgeonly and fed up with everyone's BS and SUPER annoyed at how 10 and 11 spend all their time smooching and that last bit sums several of my emotions on the subject too.

Jehova's Witnesses were specifically called out in the Hobby Lobby case as the sort of religious belief that it *totally wouldn't* apply to ever. The Supreme Court deciding which religions deserve that level of protection and which ones don't sound exactly like the sort of consistent reading of the First Amendment we all want.

The fact that *even filling out a form putting your objection to birth control on record* was ruled by SCOTUS to be a "substantial burden", would love to see someone demand the same standard for CO status on the grounds it's basically a war "permission slip".

The Toast : Famous Paintings of Jacob Wrestling With the Angel, Ranked By How Much Their Actions Resemble Slow-D

Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:21:48 +0000

Discussing this on twitter, but Jack Miles's "God: A Biography" refers heavily one school of interpretation that posits that the angel actually was Esau, and Jacob couldn't really see his features but figured it out while they were fighting enough to coyly refer to it during their face-to-face reunion later. Which is just sort of an incredibly SIBLING HIJINX way to end the story, and also totally makes all these paintings of hugging it out and holding hands pretty much exactly perfect and so this will forever be my biblical headcanon.

Not going to lie, I didn't actually manage to read the article because I was too busy marveling at the utter perfection of the Zelda screenshot accompanying it.

The Toast : Body Swap Methods In Movies, Ranked In Order Of Plausibility From Greatest To Least

Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:53:22 +0000

A shame the Community one isn't more detailed, because "Wish (but actually one person faked it to avoid dealing responsibly with his social relationships and the other one played along because first guy is his best friend and didn't know any other way to help)" is honestly the MOST plausible method of body swap

Wonkette : Kevin Williamson's Heart Of Darkness

Extremely long-standing. What history exactly do you think William F. Buckley was standing athwart?

To be perfectly fair, though, "F*** you, white devil!" is basically the only appropriate way to greet Kevin Williamson, and even imaginary 9-year-olds are aware of this.

Wonkette : Twitchy Very Sorry For Calling Pelosi 'Jew-Hating Bitch,' Meant To Quote Someone Saying It

Twitchy is deeply sorry it allowed the dogwhistles to drop down into the human register

Wonkette : Bristol Palin Knows Who Is Classy And It Is Not The Dumb Gay President

Wed, 16 Jul 2014 17:32:46 +0000

Idk I think Bristol raises a good point. Why can't Obama be more like Reagan, and never publicly mention gay people even once, not even when faced with a major public health crisis that disproportionately effects them?

Wonkette : You Will Never Believe This, You Guys, But Chris McDaniel Supporters Might Be Racist

Fri, 4 Jul 2014 07:22:03 +0000

Somewhat sticky, but African-Americans are conscious enough of history that they will come out in droves against someone if they start suggesting they're about to give extra scrutiny to black people voting in the next election. That's a big part of why the A-A turnout in 2012 was as high or even higher than it was in 2008, and it was also a big factor here: one major thing that happened between runoff and primary was a lot of fearmongering about cross-party voting from McDaniel allies, along with threats to place partisan "observers" in polling places to challenge black voters in particular. McDaniel probably did as much to drive African-American turnout as Cochran himself did.

My main medium is sarcastic internet verbiage. That, and performance art. I'm currently in year seven of a piece I call, "Squandering My Education and Intellect at a Dead-End Receptionist Position I Should Have Left Three Years Ago"

We won’t claim that we love factory farms, but we can say with all honesty that we’re every bit as offended by overwrought writing as we are by animal abuse, because we lost our moral compass years ago.

I feel the same way, but in my case I'm pretty sure that it's because dairy products have made me autistic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wonkette : Ben Shapiro May Have Finally Lost It, As If Anyone Could Tell

Or maybe, just maybe, the Obama administration didn’t care about Frenkel because he was a Jew. Jewish blood is cheap to this administration.

I mean, Genocide Ben does have a point in there, right? I think it's safe to say that Americans would be comparatively up in arms if there were, hypothetically, counterfactually, a case where agents of the Israeli government were suspected of killing an American. No, not like that time. No, not that one, either, geez. Not THAT -- okay, LOOK, I said suspected, and all those incidents are pretty unequivocal so they don't count

Wonkette : Bristol Palin Plans Hobby Lobby Love-In Complete With Hot Sexxxxy Shopping Pix

What if we stand in the doorway of Hobby Lobby stores in a way that, uh, totally doesn't prevent people from entering and "gently counsel" everyone who enters about birth control or whatever?
