Outrage of the day
Today deserves two outrages. Charlize's built-in-pillow dress is obviously outrage number one. Outrage number two comes our neighbor to the west, South Dakota.

In his message, Governor Rounds noted that the Supreme Court has reversed decisions before. He cited the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision that said states could require racial segregation in public facilities if the facilities were "separate, but equal." That ruling was reversed in Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 school desegregation case.
"The 1954 court realized that the earlier interpretation of our Constitution was wrong," Governor Rounds said.
Comparing your law to ban abortion to the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education??? What an ignorant asshole!!!! Seriously, who votes for these people?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
That makes me so crazy. South Dakota, what is your problem? Seriously, South Dakota, you need counseling to deal with your issues with women.
Apparently there is only one clinic in all of South Dakota that performs abortions, too. And if this does go to the Supreme Court, let's hope it isn't sixty years before it's overturned, like Plessy.
Rounds said something about how the way a nation is judged is by how it treats those living things that are vulnerable and helpless. First of all: if he is swiping from Gandhi, Gandhi referenced animals; I wonder if Rounds intends to protect all helpless animals, too? Secondly: Rounds is making women and their rights, which are already sometimes tenuous, that much more vulnerable; will women become the "vulnerable" living things he speaks of soon? Why do we not talk about the thousands of woman who have died from unsafe abortions? The abortion debate has long smacked of an anti-woman bias, and anti-family, too, since this is a decision that couples make as well. This reminds me of the right-wing's anti-Big Brother Government stance and yet, isn't this being that very thing? There are so many contradictions with this...
Chill, ladies, the bill has to be upheld by the Supreme Court before it actually takes effect OH WAIT SANDRA DAY OCONNOR DOESN'T WORK THERE ANYMORE AND SCALIA, SC-ALITO AND ROBERTS DO. My bad. There is no reason to be optimistic about any women's rights or civil rights in America FOR THE REST OF ROBERTS LIFE. Dude's like 35. We are f-ed.
We'll just have to send over our wire coat hangers. I've been meaning to switch to wood hangers anyway.
