Banshees apparently do exist
The very important and serious Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, which exists to prop up and celebrate conservative women, puts out a calendar every year, apparently.
Well, the unbearable wait for the latest installment is finally over. To give you a taste, here is the new Miss September — a heavily made up, airbrushed, and somewhat de-alien-ified Ann Coulter:
You can gag at the rest of the calendar shots here.
Something immediately jumped out at me (and I’m not talking about the predictably artless quality of the photography). Every last one of the subjects is wearing fur ripped from the bodies of fellow animals. That was when I noticed the title of the calendar: Pretty in Mink.
Especially to these women and their handlers, I’m sure the suffering of mere animals pales in comparison to the pleasure they derive from the softness of the fur on their skin; from the happiness they feel in knowing that Sarah Palin would approve; and the general pleasure they seem to take in the suffering and deaths of others.
Both pitiable and unforgivable.
H/t to Gawker.
Never leave home without it.
