Those thirty pieces of silver are coming out of your salary!” - Hm, the possibility that Judas kicked back part of his thirty pieces of silver (or that he was scamming naïve High Priests) somehow never made it into the Gospels. ---

How much you want to be they don’t issue a retraction. There are now Fox viewers who believe that pregnant women in Kenya can’t vote. As a follow up, she doubles down. > **[Fox News Host Stands by Claim About Pregnant Women in Kenya Amid Backlash](https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-host-emily-compagno-stands-by-false-kenya-claim-that-sparked-backlash)** > > Compagno claimed pregnant women aren’t allowed to leave home and thus have no right to vote, prompting Kenyans to call the claim false and demand an apology. > [@](#): > > When reached for comment on the controversy, Compagno—through a Fox News spokesperson—stood by her remarks and pointed to two websites where she found the claim about pregnant women in Kenya supposedly being barred from leaving their homes. Yes, two websites with unsourced claims, against the actual experience of people that actually fucking live there. If it’s on the internet, it _must_ be true. ---

It’s also a reminder of something I frequently say: AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM: The fundamental belief that we’re better than every other nation, in every other way. But we’re not. We’re not, and no end of objective, quantitative information bears that out. It’s really much more about you – you whose deep-seated insecurities won’t allow you to see when there’s a better way. You revel in understanding worst practices – who does something worse than the US. And why not ? It allows you to be complacent and smug. But you won’t ever look at best practices – who’s doing something better than we are (eg, guns), and then try to emulate those ? [NB: it’s particularly amusing when the ‘worst practices’ they point to are utter bullshit made from whole cloth] #Murica ! ---

So was the Fox News employee saying that (that in Kenya, pregnant women can’t vote or leave the house) as a way of calling the country backwards, or as an example of something to emulate here? ---
