Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh thank goodness, someone has made a Tumblr:

Because like I said on FB, if I can't find ways to laugh at this, I will break down crying instead. Or possibly a rage blackout.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Since they have left out the PR Disaster exception, looks like the RNC is going to have to carry this particular baby to term.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think anyone is saying they would ask "WAS IT RAPE?!?"

Here's what I was reacting to:

any person that she sees with any degree of regularity is likely to realize that she was raped

And no, no I wouldn't. Not even close. I'm sad that it's true.

Ann, that's a ferret.

ita !, it's probably best just to call me clueless on that point.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am left sputtering for words from Akin's latest comments. Do you think it is possible he has gotten all of his knowledge of women, rape, and reproductive issues from soap operas?

I'm searching for an explanation that is more satisfactory than "he's is a giant asshole." But perhaps that will have to suffice.

I think "knowledge" might be too strong a word.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think "knowledge" might be too strong a word.

I was gonna. He's a stupid fucker.

Because books.

I guess what's baffling to me is that news outlets everywhere aren't just saying, "This is WRONG. This guy is dangerously ignorant." Maybe that's not a news outlet's job, but they certainly give opinions on everything else these days.

Don't worry, I'm sure The Newsroom will get to it in a couple of years.
