Also, too, I got a great education in Catholic schools, and now I am a queer socialist and the co-founder of the First Independent Church of Satan and Baseball (meetings March-October and whenever the weather's nice), so you know it's 100% positive formative experience for everyone.

Burn the village to save it. Gotta borrow a line here: for. Fuck's. Sake.

They're the real victims here. Just ask Darren Wilson—he lost his jerb!

<i>Plus, he went to Catholic schools, so you know that he, unlike the child he shot to death, is probably a great guy.</i>

I went to Catholic schools and now I comment on Wonkette. Not sure what this says about the "Catholic school attendee = great guy" hypothesis.

Depends: is this the black Jesus or the white Jesus?

Amazon should splash a warning label onto ads for toy guns: "For White Use Only".

Sexual harasser and lapsed Jesuit "McLaughlin Group" host John McLaughlin?

Yes, it's still on. I <a href="http:\/\/www.mclaughlin.com\/" target="_blank">checked</a>, and it now features that bright new (Catholic-educated) deep thinker Patrick "J" Buchanan!

Great. And here was this great story about a supportive mother and her transgender son <a href="http:// <a href="http://(http://gawker.com/supportiv..."" target="_blank">(http://gawker.com/supportiv..."</a> target="_blank"> <a href="http://(" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://gawker.com/supportive-mom-issues-correction-to-trans-teen-sons-bir-1665810263/all)">http://gawker.com/supportiv..." target="_blank">(" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://gawker.com/supportive-mom-issues-correction-to-trans-teen-sons-bir-1665810263/all)">http://gawker.com/supportiv... that got me all happy and stuff last night, then I come here and read this and want to crawl back in bed and refuse to think about how absolutely shitty humanity really is.

After reading this story, I'm going to need a hug.

Well, me. But when my mother asked if I wanted to go to public school in sixth grade, I ran screaming from the land of fairy tales and magicke.

It's hugs. We all need hugs right now. In fact, Wonkette should have, like, one story every morning under the category "Hugs to Make You Feel Better" that is just a warm and fuzzy feel-good story. <i>Then</i> we can get into the hard stuff like this.
