The Girls Scouts organization has recently come under fire from conservative activists and pundits for linking to a story articles about liberal women, including Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D).

hahahahahah.... oh, guys.... seriously... You are JUST NOTICING that Girl Scouts are all about empowering girls? That they affirm diversity and regard women in the public eye who demonstrate courage and integrity as role models?

Really?

You're just noticing?

heehee...

Does it bother you enough to get you to give up yer Thin Mints and Samoas?

(If so, I'll buy the boxes you're boycotting!)

amusedly,
Bright
