Girl Scout troop leader Kim Douglas • Discussing a recent situation her 10-year-old daughter faced when going door-to-door to sell cookies. Douglas’ daughter, by the way, didn’t know what abortion was. “It left my daughter very shocked, confused,” Douglas said. “She said, ‘Mommy, something creepy happened to me.’” By the way: The Girl Scouts, which have faced much culture war heat of late (including this guy we posted about Monday), take no position on abortion or contraception, so the woman was incorrect.

I hate the world, I really do. Politicians with their “small amount of web-based research” peddle nonsense like this and people eat it up without ever fact checking it. It’s ridiculous how we let them get away with outright lying and there’s never any consequences. Now we have a country full of people who cannot think critically for themselves :/

I bought 7 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies today. I regret nothing.

At my parents’ place we used to get yearly boy scouts coming by to sell popcorn, and also at my local grocery store. I refuse to support the boy scouts because of the national organization’s position on homosexuality, but I’m not going to get up in some kids face about it. Vote with your dollars, by all means, but it’s enough to just say ‘no.’ There is NO excuse to be horrible to children.
Now I’m going to go find all the girl scouts I can so I can BUY ALL THE COOKIES.

Seven boxes of Girl Scout Cookies in our living room as we speak. After the latest round of bullshit, I’ll take whatever chance I can to buy more.
