More Funniness

I'd tell Dennis if he had a comments page: Carlson says on the Andrew Sullivan bllllogggggggh that he was grabbed in the men's room. He should have been clear about that on the tv. But regardless, going back to beat up a pedophile rapist is probably one of the more justifiable uses of violence. I've threatened a sexual assailant with violence; fortunately I scared him enough that I didn't need to follow through.
