It Doesn't Pay to Get Out of Bed Half the Time

• In Memoriam:  Norma McCorvey, "Roe" of Roe v. Wade.  Fascinating and tragic.
• Pointing out the absence of the "concept of consent" in anti-marriage-equality thinking.
• Followed by sex, porn, and fundamentalism.  (This and the previous item from Nothing left to do but smile smile smile ..., Daisy Deadhead maintaining a presence.)
• John McCain rhetorically refutes Buttercup *.  Without mentioning him by name.
• Anti-Semites get gleeful over insults to Jewish reporter. (AlterNet)
• Professional basketball player believes world is flat.  Seriously.
• Trevor Noah suggests treating racism as a disease.  Video (The View).  (LeftofCenter, Crooks and Liars)  (I class racism as a mental illness, but that's probably mean.)

See Plaidder on Tumbler's "Buttercup vs. the U.S. Constitution" which states:

(BTW, after reading about how constantly repeating the 45th president’s name has the effect of making people more well-disposed toward him because he becomes familiar, I’ve decided that on this blog I will refer to him only as “buttercup,” as in, “buckle up, buttercup.”)
