Dissent Of The Day

By The Daily Dish

A reader writes:

Put it after the jump if you must.  But as a mother, it is cruel to subject me to such imagery that I purposely go out of my way to avoid seeing.  Much less cruel than that father's suffering, I realize.  But I don't need to see a picture to sympathize with the atrocities that are occurring.  And now you have rendered me completely unable to work - the rock wedged in my throat is too big, and I am weeping at my desk with supervisors passing by.

This blog does not protect its readers from reality. If it's too much, I'm sorry, but there are other blogs to read. My job is to counter the cowardice of much of the MSM, not to replicate it.
