I like this:

Especially the bits about how abortion is a subject using the same tactics and thinking that popped up during the satanic panic e.g. wild impossible unverifiable horrifying stories passed around by folks using them to backstop their own fucked belief systems, and no one is ever called on it.

Why I miss Herman Cain: he's on CNN tonight openly campaigning--not hinting, but listing his qualifications--for Secretary of Defense. Wild guess that Romney would pass.

It was "wild" that hurt my feelings. If you'd called me a judiciously gossipy political horserace fiend--a JGPHF--I'd have printed up business cards.

mordy i made a yahoo pipe rss thingy for chait
it is neither perfect nor particularly timely, but possibly better than nothing
(the one i tried to make for nabisco works less well)

ur objection is that your political gossip taste is more discriminating than the average gossipy political horserace fiend? fine, conceded. JGPHF it is.

Honestly, this is riveting. There's a lady in a green sweater counting out little green pieces of paper--"68, 69, 70, 71, 72"--and the CNN reporter explains what's happening: "She's finished counting, Wolf: 72."
