Yes, Rush Limbaugh said something really dumb and awful again. Here, editors Jennifer Wright and Ashley Cardiff discuss why it’s dumb, how it’s dumb and attempt to parse exactly what he meant recently when he said, “You know how to stop abortion? Require that each one occur with a gun” while discussing the Sandy Hook shooting. More

Whenever I hear Ann Coulter’s name about to come on in the news, I just sort of expect that she’s about to spew the language equivalent of pink slime. Prepare the skillet, folks, because lo and behold: this assumption was correct. More

It is rare that I take celebrities seriously. No, really, no matter how often I write about them, I just generally do not take famous people seriously. They’re like dolls: you hug them and tuck them in with you and pretend they have personalities, but inside, you’re pretty sure there’s no “soul,” whatever that means. And then sometimes, they say things that make you swing around, suddenly realizing that you’ve been flattering Chuckie every night. More

On Tuesday evening, the Senate candidates for my state of Indiana met for a debate. Republican Richard Mourdock, who beat out the respected Senator Richard Lugar in a fierce primary battle, squared off against Democrat Joe Donnelly. In the course of that debate, Mourdock was asked about his views on abortion and if there is ever a reason to terminate a pregnancy. And like a long string of Republicans before him during this election season, Mourdock expressed views that were thoughtless, ignorant, and just plain offensive. When referring to abortion in cases of rape, Mourdock said, ”I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it something that God intended to happen.” More

Paul Ryan likes to explain things to people. Ayn Rand, baby-killing, why certain facts are not facts, etc. This was very evident in last night’s vice presidential debate, when Ryan mansplained his ass off (can you mansplain things to another man? Sure!) while Biden laughed and laughed.
The Internet being what it is, people are now putting funny words over pictures to create a meme called Mansplaining Paul Ryan. Here are some of them. Perhaps you’d like to make your own? More
