and this from one of the more reasonable people:
We who are appalled by the perverse reaction to the Indiana law are not exactly defending the free exercise right; we are in a sense opposing a violation of the prohibition on religious establishment. The point is not that running a flower shop is a way of practicing one’s religion. The point is that, if reasonably possible, people should not be compelled as the price of entry to the public square to honor as true what their understanding of their religious obligations compels them to judge false.

Jonah has written about the jokes Obama told last night. I’d like to add a word.
Commenting on his relationship with Joe Biden, he said, “We’ve gotten so close that some places in Indiana won’t serve us pizza anymore.”
I realize it’s just a joke. A joke told on a jokey evening. It’s a good joke, too. Funny. “Lighten up,” right?
But still: That pizzeria, Memories, did not refuse to serve gays. They’re happy to serve gays. The owner and his daughter said they would not cater a gay wedding (not that a pizzeria has ever been asked to cater a wedding, to my knowledge). Does it matter? Yeah, a little, even on a jokey evening. (Sounds like the title of a Frost poem, almost.)\

so the Kraut wrote a column calling for the release of captive whales. Mona Charen responds:
I admire Charles Krauthammer extravagantly (doesn’t everyone?) and agree that keeping Orcas confined for our entertainment is probably cruel. But he asks a question that has a much more obvious answer. It’s simple: abortion. Here’s my take on that subject today.

oh man:
In Part II of today’s “Macedonia Journal,” I speak of George Soros, who is a big deal here in America — but who is a far bigger deal in that little Balkan country. One local conservative told me, “Soros came into Macedonia like a Trojan horse, and now he is an octopus.” The Hungarian-born billionaire pushes a sharply Left agenda through a host of NGOs and activists. The activists are called “Sorosoids” — by conservatives, that is. It is not a flattering term.
When the weather’s nice, I see Sorosoids all over the streets of New York. They have clipboards and stop people to enlist them in various Left causes. The pickings should be fairly easy for them in this city. Worse luck in Provo?
We the American taxpayer contribute to Soros in Macedonia, in that we give to his principal foundation through USAID. Why does Soros need our bucks, in light of his own? A good question, to which I don’t have a ready answer. I believe our officials think we are contributing to the democratic process, not to a particular side (namely, the “post-Communist” one).
The Soros foundation’s activities in Macedonia are multifarious, but one of them has been to translate Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Just what a country struggling to emerge from Communism needs, right? And this got me to thinking about Saul and Rules right here at home. Our current president has an Alinskyite past; and so does our next potential president, HRC. If she gets in, maybe she’ll include Rules for Radicals in a national Common Core? Maybe we should give it to the chillen in the cradle, in lieu of The Cat in the Hat and whatnot?
What people in Macedonia, the United States, and elsewhere should be exposed to is the U.S. Constitution. President Obama used to speak highly of it, or at least respectfully. (Wasn’t he supposed to have taught it?) He said, for example, that the Constitution forbade him to amnesty illegal aliens, all by himself. He was not an emperor, you know.

Um, hell-ooooo-ooooh! First of all, the fact that these women are just candidates for one bill rather than all automatic shoo-ins for their own bills is an outrage. After all, the people of our racist country will just pick one of the white ones — making the women of the other nominated cultures feel inferior. And like some cultures weren’t even nominated at all. There are literally no Native American women on the list, even though there should pretty clearly be at least one from every single tribe. Oh, and by the way, there is not a single handi-capable female included. What a joke. There must be a gender-fluid bill, a straight female of each race, a lesbian female of each race, a bisexual female of each race, an asexual female of each race, a gender nonconforming person of each race, a handi-capable female of each race, a handi-capable gender nonconforming person of each race, and also a few mixed-race representatives. I think that Gloria Steinem and Lena Dunham should at least be considered too even though they’re obviously a little bit evil because they’re white. I apologize if I am forgetting anyone. I’m aware that my white privilege makes me a terrible person so please forgive me in advance for my ignorance. I didn’t mean to oppress you. What we actually need to do here is overthrow our entire currency. Not having enough denominations of money to represent all marginalized groups is no excuse to exclude anyone — we just need to add more denominations! I really don’t see what would be wrong with a $1.27 bill, for example. Why not? Isn’t this the most important thing ever in the world? Also, to make more room we should definitely do away with all of the straight, cisgender white males already on the bills. I mean seriously. I really don’t know why we’re still celebrating these people even though it’s a proven fact that every single problem in the world is all their fault.Katherine Timpf is a """"""""""""""""""""""""reporter"""""""""""""""""""""""" for National Review Online.

But what can we expect from an event titled “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes”? Yes, “her” — as if everyone who wears heels automatically uses that pronoun. Now, this might not seem like a big deal to people who aren’t as culturally aware as I am, but I promise you that it is wildly problematic. It totally ignores the fact that there are many heel-wearing, female-identified people out there who don’t want to be referred to by language associated with the traditional gender binary. What about the “they/them/their/theirs” people out there, huh? Or the “xe/xem/xyr/xyrs”? Of course, I’m also going to mention the pronouns “ne/nem/nir/nirs” and “ve/ver/vis,” as well as the fact that there are people who prefer to invent their own pronouns or to not use any at all, because I’m a wonderful person and superior to those who might forget and leave some people feeling excluded. Sometimes I think about how far we still have to go before we’re living in a truly accepting and loving culture — it’s daunting.

Katherine, I'd never heard of you before, but today is the first time I've been glad that a website had the irritating-as-all-hell "scrolling takes you directly to the next article" interface. I came to see what the Sarah Silverman thing was about, and saw the title for this piece below it -- and I didn't notice (at first) that it was also by you, so I didn't expect it to be sarcastic until I was pleasantly surprised.
Not only is your execution stellar, but your attitude is great. It's inspiring and reassuring to me every single time I see someone like you calling out how fucked the popular oppression narrative is, especially because the stupid nature of the problem means that we need more women piping up. I only became aware a short few years ago that there are other women who reject victim culture, so it still strikes me deeply and means something special every time I see a respectable woman writing credible, interesting work that criticizes the issue. Thanks for writing the piece that started my day with a sense of camaraderie instead of frustration!
