    …do kids really sleep like that once they’re, you know, out of the womb? It’s kind of creepy.

    Well, if I knew that was all I had to do tp be a feminist! Now I know what to with this baby sleeping on my lap.

    I’ve never seen a baby sleep like that, and my son has some wierd sleeping positions. His current favorite is his butt up in the air with his knees tucked towards his chest.

    I’m so confused. Darwin has to be right about the theory of evolution in order for Mike’s strawbiologist to continue getting laid?

    I am baffled in ways I did not know where possible.

    OK, that caption was the best laugh I got this week, thanks! :)
    That aside though, what’s that coming out of the baby? Cotton candy? A cloud? A really misshapen teapot? From the location, I’d guess wings, only they look like anything but.

    I think those are “wings” photoshopped from orchid petals. The baby is an orchid fairy, or something. *gag*

    he must be referring to abortion, right (which in itself is not murder but that is for another day). i truly think certain men like that fear feminism because they do not want women to have power.

    That’s a baby frill, sort of like the ones that go on a crown roast of lamb. Meant to spiff up the baby for proper table presentation.

    Great post. Thanks for the World O’ Crap quote about how these guys, and their enablers like Friedman, always just happen to run into some person who completely validates their world views. Why can’t that happen to me? There I was, sitting on the subway car, remarking how crowded the car was to the person next to me, when he launched into a bitter diatribe against the know-nothing paternalism of Justice Kennedy’s opinion in Carhart. I know, unexpected, but quite welcome.

    Y’know, I thought I was reasonably intelligent – graduated high school, have a college degree, am attending grad school for my PhD…

    …and yet I can’t make sense out of a damn word he said. About all I got was “I hate women!”

    That pic with Celine creeps me out, though, something about the conjunction of her with the baby in that weird posture – I almost believe she is about to eat it!

    She’s not about to eat the baby. She’s about to chew off its invisible cocoon so its wings can unfold. Then she teaches the baby to eat from the flower using its nose.

    Jeez, doesn’t anyone know about fetal development any more?

    Prop baby? Made of play-do? Real babies don’t bend like that, do they?

    And if you don’t think it’s totally hilarious, you were probably an abused communist emotionally disturbed child, and you have no sense of humor.

    So since I do think it’s totally hilarious, I can’t be accused of not having a sense of humor? Or do I have to laugh raucously at it in appreciation rather than mockery?

    Real babies are pretty darn bendy. Consider how they get out.

    I’ve seen plenty of babies sleeping in that pose, although those babies were usually on a nice, comfy bed or rug and were in no danger of being eaten. A more sensible pose for this baby would be “fleeing in horror”.

    Except babies of that age can’t really flee in horror, so it would be more, oh, flailing its limbs uselessly in horror. And spitting up, which for babies is a sign of distress, a reflex or possibly just a way to pass a slow hour.

    Wait…if the baby can flail its limbs in horror that would mean it’s uncooked? I have to eat raw babies to be a feminist?

    The deals off. I only eat my babies roasted. Or possibly stewed.

    Not to mention, uh, alive.

    Well, when people are eating live scorpions, this isn’t much, I guess.

    My interpretation was along the lines of “I hate feminists because liberals are getting laid and I’m not”.

    I’m In Love With A Stripper

    Apparently it’s real fashionable now a days to call attractive wives of candidates ‘strippers‘! In the Post-Imus media world, this is called having an Imus moment. What this means is that insulting blacks is off the table, and app…

    You should never eat babies stewed. It’s hard enough to catch them when sober.
    Don’t you know that cooked babies lose all their nutrients? And don’t ask me about frozen.

    Think baby carpaccio, Tapetum. Thinly sliced over field greens with a lemon vinaigrette.

    Mmmm, duo of free-range human infant: lightly seared with essence of white truffle, and raw, with a touch of olive oil.
    What wine goes with baby?
