The good news is that we are now rapidly approaching the point at which the left is so utterly insane that it becomes incapable of doing anything except biting people on the ankles or genocide. The bad news is that a country lulled into sleep by a media embrace is mostly toddling along after their madness. The South Park joke is actually backward. It's the candidates of the left that are now pushing extremes of insanity as if they actually want someone to stop them. And in a sense they do. The left gets much of its high from breaking taboos. When it wins, then it loses its transgressive temptation and begins losing its mind.
And then you get things like this.
Is your dog's Halloween costume sexist?: Abha Bhattarai / Washington Post:
Young girls may be discarding their princess wands for superhero capes this Halloween, but not so in the canine world.
The glass ceiling appears to be firmly in place at PetSmart, where career costumes labeled “male” include firefighter and police officer, while female dogs can choose between a pink cowgirl costume and pink loofah.
“It seems silly on the surface, but this is part of a larger message we’re sending, that there are certain jobs for men, and certain jobs for women,” said Scott Lawrie, 36, who co-hosts a podcast, ‘She will not be ignored,’ about gender issues. “The career options for women — and dogs — need to go beyond pink loofahs and pink cowgirls.”
Dogs do not have career options. And to the extent that they have career options, those careers should be directed toward biting dog Halloween costume police.
But they have missed an important social justice crybully angle. What about racist dog Halloween costumes? Dog sombreros could be America's next big racial crisis.
On the site BaxterBoo.com, options for your female pooch include “sweet heart nurse” or French maid. “Any tidy girl dog will look adorable wearing this French Maid Dog Costume,” the site’s description reads. “Whether your pup is a clean freak or a messy mutt, she will enjoy playing ‘dress up’ in this fun costume.”
The choices for male dogs, meanwhile, include fireman, mob boss and doctor (suggested pairing: “match up with a girl friend with the Sweet Heart Nurse Dog Costume.”)
The Washington Post gave social justice crybullies a platform a while back resulting in a tidal torrent of stupidity. But we now have a new winner. And a new loser. The Post.
