Ding Dong

Paraphrase Bette Davis. My mom told me only speak good the dead. Phyllis Schlafly is dead. Good.

I'm never gonna celebrate anybody's death, but the news of somebody like Phyllis Schlafley dying doesn't exactly make me sad.  She was destructively wrong about a lotta things for a long time.  And the things she was wrong about - things she led the fight to stop or deflect or delay or mitigate - are all things that would've helped make life a little better for millions of women in this country and (probably) hundreds of millions of women around the world.

If we help women, it's almost automatic that we'll get whole big batches of better men out of it too.

So if such a thing is possible, when Ms Schlafley gets to hell, she can hang out with Fallwell and Scalia, and they can cogitate on why there seems to be such a shortage of Liberals down there.
