Meanwhile, at the pro Kim Davis rally...

On the teevee news -- they just interviewed some of the attendees at the rally in support of the jailed Kentucky clerk. After listening to them the first thought that occurred was, “If I ever feel the need to perpetuate an unfortunate stereotype I know where to go.” Damn, that was just squirmy uncomfortable. I'm still cringing.

I think its true. If I tried to start a sterotype that has no basis in reality, it wont stick.
