Fox News' Brian Kilmeade Goes Full Metal Godwin : Mike the Mad Biologist:
Granted, picking on Fox News is like taunting the slow kid--it's cheap and makes you feel bad about yourself. On the other hand, this, reported by Alex Koppelman, just cries out for comment:

Kilmeade and two colleagues were discussing a study that, based on research done in Finland and Sweden, showed people who stay married are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's. Kilmeade questioned the results, though, saying, "We are -- we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other ..."

At this point, his co-host tried to -- in that jokey morning show way -- tell Kilmeade he needed to shut up, and quick, for his own sake. But he didn't get the message, adding, "See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes .... Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society."

Maybe Kilmeade just needs some....lebensraum?
According to NPR, It's Not Torture When We Do It : Mike the Mad Biologist:
NPR Ombudsman Alicia Shepard is a morally degenerate torture apologist. I'm glad Greenwald routinely calls out the media for its effect on the discussion surrounding torture, but I think he rarely touches on the larger issue: the moral degenerates who defend the torture of another human being not only walk freely among us, they are able to retain positions of authority and governance.

We need to not only call out the effects of moral degeneracy, we need to castigate the degenerates.

I remember a few years back when Saving Private Ryan came out, lots of people got really weepy and insecure (not to mention narcissistic) because they would never get to be a 'Greatest Generation.' Well, there's an entire cohort of people (which spans age groups) who have engaged in one of the great ethical failures of our time. And to avoid this failure, all they had to do was not defend torture. Never mind decry it, just stumble over a very low ethical bar and not defend torture.

Shameful.
