and some on the world are still divorced from reality

Abort a doughnut today!

It's inauguration day, and in a fine old American tradition, every event must be associated with a commercial tie-in. Krispy Kreme dougnuts is offering a free choice of a doughnut in honor of the change in presidents.

Did you hear that? Free choice of a doughnut?

Get it? Choice?

Yeah, I know, most of you aren't obsessive lunatics, so it's not obvious. You need to see the press release sent out by the American Life League.

The unfortunate reality of a post Roe v. Wade America is that 'choice' is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of 'freedom of choice' is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand.

Buying a doughnut is now interpreted as endorsing abortion. This is insane.

Unfortunately, another fine American tradition is the compounding of the insanity. Krispy Kreme caved and rewrote their advertising copy to carefully spell out at the end that "the Inauguration Day promotion is not about any social or political issue."

I'm sorry, world. Some Americans are flaming morons, and the rest of us fall ass-over-ankles to cater to them.
