I know it's early but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume I won't find anything else that gives me that "Aha" feeling in quite the same way in the space of a single sentence. In response to the LA Times story about all those poor men suffering from post-abortion syndrome (or whatever), scott at World O' Crap writes:
I will happily accept that [men] have abortions if, whenever a woman dies in childbirth, the father is immediately executed.
I also enjoyed the suggestion for a "Take Your Flushed Fetus to Work Day.” Oh hell, go read.
Hat-tip to Thers at Eschaton, like they need my help.
Some of these guys also sound as though they would sign up in all seriousness for “Investment Planning for Post-Abortive Men: The Best Ways to Save for Your Imaginary Child’s College Education.”
Och, I'd like to say "Now I've heard everything," except I've learned better. That's kind of like saying "Things can't get worse," and we all know where that leads.
Scott also nails it when he answers this line from the LA Times story:
with:
Yup.
I may not be able to top that one but there are a couple of close runners up for the day - and it's still early:
From Bill in Portland Maine: Today in an e-mail to its subscribers, the conservative site Human Events announced that it had named Rush Limbaugh its "2007 Man of the Year," for his "relentless pursuit of truth.
And from Linda McQuaig: Paul's argument that terrorism was a response to American foreign policy was quickly dismissed by the other Republican candidates with a resounding chorus: terrorism is purely the product of irrational, freedom-hating Muslims.
"Our foreign policy is irrelevant," harrumphed Rudy Giuliani, "totally irrelevant."
So when is that next interplanetary spacecraft headed for Sirius? Because it's getting 'way too hard on this planet to walk out the door without tripping over an idiot.
I do believe that Rush Limbaugh is relentlessly pursuing something. I don't believe it's truth.
