Headline of the Day

"Rand Paul Fears For Jane Fonda."—Washington Post.

"Unless she needs a lifesaving abortion, in which case she can FOAD."--Ana Mardoll (shared with her permission).

I truly do not know what the best part of this is. The awesomely current pop culture reference? His wildly hypocticial defense of a Republican president's designated enemy, who's been used as a Satan stand-in by his party for literally as long as I can remember? Or the stopped-clock nature of his concern for those rights that impact members of marginalized groups, but only when they also affect elite white straight men?

I breathlessly await his impassioned defense of John Lennon's "More popular than Jesus" remarks any day now.
