Dear so-called progressives: I hate you

Hey so-called Progressives: Disability is not your fucking punch line and I hate you.

Wherein Wonkette dedicates a whole fucking post to mocking Trig Palin for being "r#tarded", because it's very progressive to mock children with disabilities! Seriously, it's a disgusting article. Read this description at adage instead.

(Oh, but see, they're mocking SARAH PALIN for "using her son as a political prop". Which is why they put up a post that implies that Trig is the product of incest between his father and sister, say that children with intellectual disabilities don't dream, and implied that he was born disabled because his mother drank while she was pregnant. Not, you know, just saying "This shit where Palin uses her son as a political prop is wrong." No no, they're mocking her by making him - and all children with disabilities by extension - the butt of the joke. Ha ha ha ha. ha ha. So creative. Gosh, those progressive sure are on the side of people with disabilities, right?)

And, of course:
Lady Gaga Calls Madonna Plagiarism charges r#tarded.

GOSH I'M SO GLAD THAT I HAVE PROGRESSIVES ON MY SIDE. It's been mere hours since I was last told that ableism wasn't a real thing because people with disabilities are treated with "kid gloves".

Ooo, thank you!

(Now I'm wondering what rank "penguins" would be. OK, I really shouldn't be allowed on the net before I've had sugar.)

Well, if the penguins are anything like Opus, from the 1980's American comic strip Bloom County, I'd say they'd be staffing the regional campaign headquarters, and knocking on doors for votes, days before the election (I was just Googling for a specific series I remember, but I couldn't find it).

Penguin doorknockers. I like it! I bet they'd be much less likely to be tossed out on the street.
