The ‘WTF’ Moment of the Week

Today, Dave Boyer, a member of the editorial board of the Inquirer, has a column about how the legislators who voted for the pay raise (and then rescinded it) are going to end up being seen as victims. Or something.

I’ll be honest. I don’t really know. I couldn’t read any more of it after reading this fourth paragraph:

I could even understand why voters defeated Supreme Court Justice Russell Nigro, who was, after all, a witch. No, of course he wasn’t a witch. But he could not prove his whereabouts at the time of the Lindbergh kidnapping, and his last name might conceivably have activated some latent biases in some minds. (In fact, when I Googled “Nigro for Supreme Court,” the search engine asked: “Did you mean ‘Negro for Supreme Court?’ ” But when I clicked on “Negro for Supreme Court,” Google said there were no documents. Clearly, Google is capable of toying with people. Think about that.)

What the fuck? No, seriously. What. The. Fuck.
