Andrew Shirvell

• Vox Day puts on his Sooper Armchair Shrink cap and launches into a profoundly deranged analysis of Tyler Clementi’s suicide where he actually blames LGBT rights advocates. No, seriously.

• The origins of 13 weird (and patently false) superstitions.
  (via The Daily Grail)

• On the highly disturbing case of Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell’s [pictured] war against a gay college student.

• Meet Rush Limbaugh, defender of women. (Well, not really.)

• Kansas City cop viciously beats innocent man, conspires with other officers to cover it up and falsely charge victim with “leaving the scene of an accident”. Only one cop was disciplined (fired, lost his health insurance and part of his pension) – the whistle-blower who exposed the cover-up, of course. (Judge clears beating victim of charges, awards him $830,000.)

• Alleged child molester cleared after spending two decades in jail because police interrogator grilled the then-5-and-9-year-old children until they falsely admitted suffering abuse and tampered with evidence. Bitch-of-a-mother actually helped the children deny their father’s innocence.

• If this is confirmed, then a monster stuck living in caves for the rest of his life and whose best education is a black-and-white TV set is more scientifically informed than most US politicians.
