It is nothing short of a miracle that this nation has somehow survived the Teletubbies, the risque

[Atticus]

Disney classics, the oversexed M & M's and now---shudder---"woke" X-boxes.

Thankfully, we have the Republican Morality Police to warn us about all this "filth".

( "But, but --- drug-fueled Republican ORGIES!" )

1. I will be honest with you.

I am surprised that Cawthorne is still alive after blowing the whistle on the rethugs and their fun. Where he is from, people who do such things tend to end up in dark, overgrown gorges.

3. Nobody is in any actual legal trouble, nor do they face losing a bunch of money

Plus he's an unimportant nobody at this point. Not worth the risk.

5. Very true, but sometimes rethug memory is long.

They could wait until he has no hope of press and then...

"Madison Cawthorne, former House member, has disappeared while wandering the Appalachian trail today. Authorities are interviewing local trees for information."

6. We will be able to tell how much he pissed off the GOP by what happens to him down the line.

2. I've got to look up this XBox thing

I’m expecting extra levels of stupid.

7. Updates for energy efficiency, the rest of the article was paywalled.

So, you're correct on the 'extra levels of stupid' part.

Because a consumer-driven free market is anathema to the free market if your the Moralistic Asshole Party. The rest of us either applaud, or don't care.

8. Yeah I did look it up. Sounds like a race for the new outrage of the day

They are basically rushing to get INto the clown car.
