29. It's the Primate Way

Nov 2012

When any of the Great Apes engage in aggressive displays in territorial competitions, they'll often throw handfuls of feces at their opponents. Heck, all the way back to little furry mammals, males of many species mount one another to symbolically show dominance.

The Republicans are basically doing the same thing right now, but with words (though it would probably be more interesting if they just threw handfuls of shit).
