Radley Balko has a FaceBook Note where he aggregates all the variously droolingly stupid and foamingly rabid headlines from articles at places like Stalon.com (a website President Putin funds as a vanity project for his American concubine Joan Walsh) or TrapNeuterRelease (a magazine on a lifeline from a Facebook billionaire for eunuchs and people with congenital deformities of the crotch who were misdiagnosed as gay).
(We’ve commented on a number of these before at IL ourselves.)
Since I think Radley’s ethics won’t actually allow him to shoot me, I am reproducing it here without even asking:
