Definitely the blue one
Paul Ryan cracks a joke as an elderly critic is forced to the ground during a town hall meeting. What in the actual fuck is wrong with Paul Ryan as a human being? Seriously. This man is damaged.
Our exciting saga of Tracking Cultural Misogyny continues with this example of how an Arizona judge told a sexual assault victim that "bad things can happen in bars" and that "If you wouldn't have been there that night, none of this would have happened to you." In other words, girls, don't wear that short skirt because you're just asking for it, you know.
Also, the word "literally" is now showing up in dictionaries with the definition "pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis."
Maybe tomorrow I'll be less angry at the world and will talk about how beautiful it was out at KCRF yesterday.

Until someone screws it all up by saying something! ; )

A bit more about the gentleman. Apparently they took quite a few people out of the meeting.
I think I'd have ended up in jail myself if a judge told me that. At the very least, I'd have taken my contempt citation and told her off verbally. What I'd really like to do is grab the nearest glass of water and toss it (the liquid, that is) in her face.
