#FreeKate Mom Kelley Hunt Smith’s Alternative Morality Lecture

If your kid grows up to be a notorious criminal pervert, what do you do? Invent for yourself some alternative system of morality whereby you can praise your child (and congratulate yourself as a parent) while condemning others as “ignorant mean vile people.” So, despite everything, Kelley says she “raised sweet, loving, accepting, kind” children […]

#FreeKate Mom Defining Deviancy Down

A few weeks ago, I used “The New Abnormal” as the title of an American Spectator column about Sydney Leathers and the Anthony Weiner scandal, and it’s also fairly apt for this example: “My issue is this. These people are making Kate look like some pervert, some deviant because this happens to be girl/girl. People […]

This March 17 Twitter message sent by Kaitlyn Hunt’s little sister is something that was called to my attention nearly three months ago.

Potius Mori Quam Foedari

Loosely translated, “Death before dishonor.” Brand-new blogger Brad the Bastard paid me this high compliment: When Stacy dies his wife should save herself some money and put just one word on his tombstone — RELENTLESS. Did anyone think that when I caught the whiff of bovine excrement around the “Free Kate” narrative, and realized those […]

Right-Wing Extremist Attacks Black Transvestite in Homophobic Hate Crime

Yes, it’s true. A 21-year-old black transvestite was killed and, as every MSNBC viewer knows, the Republican Party is directly responsible for all crimes motivated by homophobia and racism. And so the only question we need to ask is, “In which redneck backwater of Bible-thumping hillbilly hatefulness did this crime occur?” A notorious hotbed of Tea […]

The Foul Stench of @BrianBeutler’s Truthlessness Has Become Intolerable

Brian Beutler‘s day job selling cheap Mexican heroin at the playground near an elementary school wasn’t producing enough revenue, and his weekend gig pimping kidnapped orphan girls to Saudi oil sheiks still didn’t make the nut. The cost of living is outrageous in DC nowadays and so, finally, Brian Beutler was forced to the desperate […]

Family Terrorized as Michigan Teachers Support Colleague Who Molested Boy

Former middle-school teacher Neal Erickson, 38, pleaded guilty in May to having sex with a boy beginning in 2006 — when the boy was a 14-year-old eighth-grader — until 2009. His fellow teachers in Ogemaw County, Michigan, supported Erickson, writing letters to the judge asking for a lenient sentence. Any parent would be horrified by […]
