Brother Jonathan posted:A story in Politico led me to this Facebook post by Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana: I remember, from another thread, about the "Planned Parenthood $8 Billion Dollar Abortionplex" story is a good measure of a person's beliefs on abortion. A pro-choice supporter will just laugh it off, but the story is just so unbelievable that it breaks an anti-abortionist's brain.

Jerusalem posted:I love the little "reader" comments that appear in relation to actual news stories in the sidebar. The thing that finally got to me about the American Voices is that they updated them recently. I don't think I ever caught that before, but the photo for the "old white guy with the handlebar mustache" is a new one, because it's closer shot and he's wearing a gray blazer than a blue one. And the "blue-collar white guy" got upgraded to a business suit. Speaking of which the Teamsters outed "blue-collar white guy" a few years ago, as an UPS delivery driver from when the Onion was still in Madison. That said, I miss "  -looking black businessman".

Cuttlefish Party posted:It is actually pretty bold and clever of The Onion to reimagine Huis Clos as a reality show. You know, the thought has come to me that Sex House does take place in Hell. And with Jay and Tara not being able to do it, everyone avoids Alex's come-ons, while Frank and Erin, the least-likely of the contestants to have sex actually doing it and destroying their lives in the process, it does seem like Sartre's "Hell Is Other People".

The American Voices on "Mutant Butterflies Found Near Fukushima" practically read my mind. There probably was no better way to end that article.

Farbtoner posted:I agree, usually they balance partisanship off with absurdity but articles about throwing nuts at a black woman and yelling "this is how we feed animals" and shouting down a Puerto Rican delegate for not being American enough were way over the line. Correction: it was two GOP attendees who were throwing nuts at a black camerawoman.

No, I read them. In the related news, at least at the time, they had a link that it was "two" and not just one.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:They really loving hate the royal family. You aren't kidding, because this was under those articles as well. 15-Year-Old Duchess Of McComb, AL Announces Pregnancy. It's a trailer trash joke, but it clearly equates the Royal Family to inbred Alabamans.
