Scott Morrison finally revokes the visa of someone who actually deserves it. A small victory but has improved my day. I had been feeling unclean since I heard he was in the country.

If the article correctly describes Mr. Blanc’s business he teaches not just assholery but actual criminal acts (assault). How is that legal anywhere? (The business seems to be based in Nevada).

OHHHHHH…grab and pull them TOWARDS my crotch…I’ve finally seen the light! I always thought it was away!

Seriously, do we really need to teach this? To say nothing of how awful it is, is that really something you have to instruct someone in?

Boils down to him basically saying: Let me teach you my pickup artist secret: (its rape)
