Yeah, right-wing talk show hosts are kinda the low-hanging fruit of crazy. Still, this is worth a look.

Good god. Crazy.
It's not halal anymore. During the preparation of the vaccine the halal is turned into kosher by removal of the 3,2,iso-methol group. Simple chemistry.

Re: More Antivaxxers
He did have the decency to preface it with the warning "Fellow Patriots" (translation: "What I am about to do is spout unadulterated bollocks")

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Re: More Antivaxxers
Hmm.... We have two recent developments locally: pharmacists are permitted to give flu shots and there are a lot of halal restaurants. Stand by while I put two and two together...

Kevin Swanson
A man who didn't quite make the cut when he was just calling for the execution of gay people has now outdone himself and earned a coveted LOTW award.
There are families, we’re talking Christian families, pastors’ families, elders’ families from good, godly churches, he preached. Their sons are rebelling! Hanging out with homosexuals and getting married!
And, he added, the parents are invited!
The statement was met with a collective gasp of shock from the audience.
What would you do if that was the case? Swanson continued. Here is what I would do: Sackcloth and ashes at the entrance to the church and I’d sit in cow manure and I’d spread it all over my body. That’s what I would do and I’m not kidding! I’m not laughing!
I’m grieving! Swanson screamed, tears of rage running down his cheeks. I’m mourning! I’m pointing out the problem!
It’s not a gay time, he continued. These are the people with the sores! The gaping sores! The sores that are pussy (sic) and gross and people are coming in and carving happy faces on the sores! That’s not a nice thing to do! Don’t you dare carve happy faces on open, pussy (sic) sores!
I approve of one part of his plan, any time he wants to be covered in cow manure that's good with me.

Re: Kevin Swanson
The pedant in me is less offended by the bigoted screed than by the misplaced 'sic'. What's wrong with 'pussy' as an adjective derived from 'pus'? Dictionary.com is satisfied with the word, and claim it's been about since the 16th century.
sic is a weapon one should wield with care. Nothing worse than being pedantically critical and wrong at the same time.

Re: Kevin Swanson
Well, the dictionary says that sic is "used in brackets after a copied or quoted word that appears odd or erroneous to show that the word is quoted exactly as it stands in the original". Now, even leaving aside the fact that all Swanson's words appear odd and erroneous, I think it's fair to say that that one would, to most readers, appear particularly odd.

Re: Kevin Swanson
The spelling is correctly used. No (sic) should be used for any reason. What would matter is the pronunciation.
puhs-ee v poo s-ee
If transcribed from the oral a (sic) would indicate a secondary copy from the original transcription where the copyist is unfamiliar with the usage or has a dirty mind. No usage or spelling error on the part of the originator thus no (sic) should be used.

You've lost me here. The adjectival form of 'pus' and the slang for female genitalia (or a cat) would be pronounced identically where I'm from.

That's kus yor a forinner.
In the following there are little blue symbols like a speaker. Hit them and hear the difference between 1 and 2.
Here.
But it's OK to pronounce them the same if that's your social norm. Kinda like pussy poop in a cat box and an English poop in the Vatican.

Number of "S" s
I am not sure what is right but it seems to me that, maybe, since "pus" has one "s" maybe purulent should be pusy with one "s".
