Also: picture the annual review.
Dept. Supervisor: You’re a natural in the classroom but your range scores have suffered.
First Grade Teacher: I’m teaching kids to read.
DS: Fine, but don’t let that distract you from being a well-armed militia of one. -

I love that with my whole black heart, but that’s not dramatizing the Constitutional convention. It’s the Declaration of Independence.

Follow the NRA’s dumb premise to its logical conclusion and teaching colleges have to include firearms training in their curriculum. And then you have authority figures in every classroom with guns. Classrooms are supposed to be safe spaces for children. You know that teacher who made your life miserable in seventh grade? Armed. You know [...]

SideshowRob commented on the blog post Joseph Bast Is Kind Of A Big Pussy
In real life, I’m a little old lady who’s goddamn sick and tired of pointing out to smarmy, sneering men that calling each other pussy means that the worst insult is being a woman. That’s what you’re saying.

It’s all fun and games until the rulers come out.
Only pussies complain about people calling people ‘a pussy’.
And women. Women complain about that. The suggestion upthread that work on a particular femmy topic like Komen means everyone excuses subsequent douchetasm is just silly. It’s got that icky “I was just kidding” smell.

Does anyone really think it matters what the govt. said about the conditions at Ground Zero and Shanksville? Someone had to go there and dig for survivors and remains. It seems very likely that what meager protections the workers could avail themselves of would have failed and probably did.
These people are unimaginably stoic heroes who did work we could not have done. I couldn’t have done that. I couldn’t have seen what they saw and walked away a whole human being. You? Isn’t this obvious?

SideshowRob commented on the blog post The Weird “Liberal” Obsession with Defending the Individual Mandate
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why Serwer bothers defending the mandate. Citing the Sebelius and Holder op-ed isn’t persuasive. Precisely the opposite: it reads like desperation. Please like me.
Sorry, buddy. You and the argument flunk a sniff test.
