Headline Round-Up: Snowden Flees

@richard_mcenroe Leftists vs. David Gregory? Kinda like Hitler vs. Stalin, really. http://t.co/2KRdrQ8Z2G — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) June 23, 2013 Working on some stuff today while coping with a caffeine deficiency, but my first task today was the latest in the Ed Snowden story: Charged by U.S. authorities with espionage, former National Security Agency contractor […]

Perverts, Degenerates and Sociopaths

Sue Lyon in Lolita (1962) S.J. Reidhead has an excellent examination of the characteristic problems of pro-pedophile apologists in the “Free Kate” movement, an inevitable consequence of the arguments that the Hunt family has made in defense of the accused sex offender Kaitlyn Ashley Hunt. From the beginning, both Kaitlyn’s parents have been dishonest about […]

The Eliminationist Rhetoric of @QueerSpring2013, Twitter Psychopath UPDATE: The ‘Pomosexual’ Mandela?

If you recall the reaction to passage of Proposition 8 (see my 2008 article “Gay Rights, Gay Rage”), you know that the more militant members of the gay rights movement are some of the most hate-filled lunatics in human history. Pol Pot looks reasonable by comparison. One such deranged monster uses the Twitter handle @QueerSpring2013, […]

Stereotype: Neurobiology Majors Just Can’t Resist Those Sexy Seventh-Graders

It’s a familiar problem in every college town: How to keep the neurobiology majors from banging middle-school girls. Oh, sure, the nuclear physics department always has its share of jailbait-chasers and more than a few chemical engineers have a taste for the young stuff, but every university administrator knows this: Nine times out of 10, […]

Weirdos, Freaks and Degenerates

Well, yes, that would be a fairly accurate description of the MSNBC audience, but I had in mind the latest news from Ohio: Three Ashland residents held a cognitively disabled woman and her child against her will for two years and forced her to perform manual labor for them, law enforcement officials said in a […]

Speaking of (Alleged) Perverts …

Hey, #FreeKate: Some of your enthusiastic supporters were on their way to Florida to "help." Unfortunately … http://t.co/MJkOs405hz — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) June 19, 2013 Some of these creepazoids were as young as 18, the same age as Kaitlyn Hunt when she fingered a 14-year-old in a school toilet stall, so maybe the ACLU […]

Raped and Killed by the Sequester?

After more than 27 years in the news business, I’m used to reading about frightful events — war, terrorism, catastrophic floods and earthquakes — but every once in a while even I can be stunned into horrified silence when I encounter a sentence like this: The girl later required surgery, Fitzpatrick said. Oh. My. God. […]

Edward Snowden: Paranoid Goofball or America-Hating Douchebag?

Stephen Kruiser is right: The “hero-or-traitor” debate is becoming tedious. At this point, let’s move on the question of exactly how the hell a flaky weirdo like Ed Snowden got top-secret clearance: During an online discussion Monday, the man who leaked hundreds of pages of classified documents about the National Security Agency‘s surveillance program accused […]
