So here I am, at my desk at home, flipping through October 15th’s issue of Newsweek. I really enjoy this magazine. It makes me feel like I’m actually keeping up with world events, rather than glancing at my news feed widget every ten minutes to read headlines.
Anyway, flipping. I always read the “Perspectives” page because it often has fabulously funny quotes and some good editorial cartoons. You know, reference material for teaching and all. As I’m reading, I find this:
“If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream; it’s a personal fantasy of mine.” –Ann Coulter, on the Democratic Party’s supposed struggles to win hawkish voters and any other demographic besides “single women.” (Newsweek, October 15, 2007)
Unfreakingbelievable. How is it possible, in this world, that this women exists? I was actually speechless for the first five minutes after reading this. Okay, five seconds maybe, but that’s a long time to be speechless about something this totally ridiculous. Does she even have a brain? And, if so, what does it really do? I’m guessing it’s just to fill up the space in her head, otherwise it would be completely empty. Actually, now that you mention it….
