A culture like this makes it impossible for women to succeed. And it has other problems.

Satan's Global Brain.... It is hard to believe there are still nuts that believe this stuff. I'm thinking the only way to combat this lunacy is through education and science. Perhaps that is why conservatives, especially evangelicals are often anti science. Or, maybe it's just me thinking that way.
I wasn't going to click on any links, because that's how I get sucked in and wind up spending hours clicking on almost all of them. In a moment of weakness, I clicked. Oh no!! Doggies being adorable! I can't resist those! Here I am an hour and a half later, and still clicking away. I'm glad I did, though, because the essay about Chelsea and Twitler's daughter-wife was excellent! Thanks, Infidel.
I, too, spent a good part of yesterday morning enjoying the links. That kept me from going outside and walking in the springwinter weather we suffer through every year at this time!
I empathize with nonnie9999 ... I've found if I spread my link- clicking over 24 hours, it allows me some time to sleep, feed myself, and attend to other bodily functions!
Always grateful for the links and the love at Crooks & Liars!
(That picture of Saturn is, of course, awesome by the way.)
Glad to be of help (or an enabler of addiction, whichever fits.....).
Satan's global brain doesn't really take any more suspension of disbelief than the talking snake or parting the Red Sea. Evangelicals are primed for this stuff.
That picture of Saturn is, of course, awesome by the way.
Hope you clicked for the full-size version -- it's hugely detailed.
I did click on it! What a sight - unusual angle and all.
Thanks for sharing my report on the March for Science both here and at Crooks&Liars!
W: If only Galileo could have seen it!
Pinku: Thanks for the post!
