The comedy stylings of obvious props comic Megan McArdle
A spitball flies across the innernets in reply to Megan McArdle’s horrific tweet:
Jeebus, she’s the worst Libertarian asshole at the WaPo and that’s saying something.
UPDATE 1: un-eff’ing believable –
Mock Paper Scissors 
I have to wonder what she is taking or is her mind really just that big of a wasteland?

I never knew what McArdle looked like. A long time ago, I read a blog in which every post about McArdle was illustrated with a photo of someone’s butt with a face drawn on it (with lipstick and a cigarette in its “mouth,” if I recall correctly). So that’s the image that comes to mind when I read the name Megan McArdle. I don’t remember which blog.

Actually, that was Ann Althouse. It was here.

That’s it. I really don’t know much about either A.A. or M.M., and I haven’t read one of your Ann Althouse posts in a long time. After I posted the comment, I was afraid I might have the name wrong.

Althouse fell off the face of the earth, as far as I can tell, and it is really too bad as she was as cogent as Noonan and did her little videos half in the tank. I remember one where she went on for a long while about dying her hair red as she finished the largest glass of merlot in the western hemisphere.
MM was a wholey-owned subsidiary of Susan of Texas (you can find her on Twitter) but I think she’s given up her vocation.

She really isn’t any good at understanding numbers or how logic works to help one reach conclusions that are not entirely insane. A child cannot consent to sex whether or not she has begun to menstruate. Pregnancies can and do result from these rapes. Abortion bans without exceptions for rapes FORCE children to give birth and thereby endanger their own health and survival. Trying to minimize this or hand-waive it away only further victimizes innocent children.

Always remember – the whole point of the culture wars is shaking the jar to make sure the ants keep fighting each other instead of having the ants get together and make the corporations and billionaires pay their fair share in taxes. That’s all. That’s the key to the door.
And Megan McCurldle is a truly useful tool.

“might not actually meet a life/health of the mother exception,” huh? I’m having a hard time conceiving of any limit to how utterly fucked up this opinion is. It’s like a universe of blind, blith cruelty and stupidity, expanding at the speed of light.
What about the child’s mental health, you blithering idiot? Just imagine you have a daughter, raped and pregnant at 10, and being told by the state she must have the child. and fuck your feelings and options for your child? Are you OK with that?
But why should I even ask? Just look at that know-it-all face of bovine complacency.

OMG … that child could have been ME. I remember being molested at age ten. I REMEMBER. I remember how TOTALLY & COMPLETELY IT FUCKED UP MY LIFE FROM THAT POINT ON even though I did not become pregnant.
At age fourteen, when Tricky Dick was leaving office, I was VERY WORRIED about being pregnant & that’s all I could think about. I spent my teen years mostly worried about pregnancy, when I should have been worried about SAT scores & getting into college.
Being molested puts a giant M on your head & every pervert out there sees it & recognizes you & goes after you. It’s a fucking curse. I’ve lived with it my entire life & I’m still in therapy.

I once had a roomie who pointed out that others with that giant M can recognize each other. Possible support can be found, but if the memories have been completely suppressed it just doesn’t work.

Honestly, every once in a while MM uncorks a column that should get her a one-way Pinochet helicopter ride. This is definitely one of them. There is just no way to rationalize this “opinion” in any way other than dangerously sociopathic. Dangerously as in “do not get into car alone with this person”
