Because I'm still trying to perk up, here's Samantha Bee at the Republican Convention, tormenting the poor delegates with the oxymoron of "choosing" in an anti-choice party.

Comments! Please Play Nicely
I love critical but constructive feedback. I'm happy to entertain opposing arguments. I'm not willing to host mudslinging, ad hominem attacks, disrespect, unkindness, or hate. This country already has way too much shouting, and my blog is one place I try to nurture civility. Obvious trolls, jerks, and spammers will see their comments deleted. I try to play nicely, and I expect you to do the same, especially toward other commenters.

My favorite line is the woman who says: "Freedom of choice, that's different from being pro-choice." Samantha had us all howling (and meowing).
Yeah - "choice" is only good if you're talking about school vouchers or the "choice" to privatize social security or health insurance. I'm just glad you were howling and not choking on your kibble.
