There is perhaps no type of animal abuse so evident, indefensible and uniformly condemned as high-heeled women crushing kittens to death or lighting rabbits on fire for sick entertainment and profit, and it cries out for reform. [read post]

But, not surprisingly, I am immensely frustrated by his unwillingness--I don't think he's a stupid guy who can be described as "unable--to connect the dots and to point out, as he never does throughout the article, that the "centrists" have the power they do only because of the indefensible allocation of power in the Senate, which gives disproportionate power to small-state senators.

Whether or not the product works well, most would agree that what would amount to $456 per year is an indefensibly high price to charge for shampoo and shipping. [read post]

The fact that the discrimination is incorporated by reference rather than stated on the face of RAC’s policy seems to me to be a completely indefensible distinction upon which to hang a decision concerning the application of a “human rights” act. [read post]
