Fox Liver Oil

In my youth, long ago, before vitamin pills had been perfected, we took cod liver oil in the winter to prevent something or other. It was vile stuff, but, so we were told, good for us.

In a modern recreation of this, I occasionally force myself to watch a bit of Fox News. Tonight's punishment was some sort of crap from the Wall Street Journal editorial board, some of the most unreconstructed dolts in the universe. One featured piece tonight was an attack on Rachel Carson, a whole string of lies remarkable for it's complete orthogonality to the truth.

I sputtered: "How can he say that utter nonsense?"

A fellow viewer had this non-PC comment: "Easy. He's a [racial category deleted] Republican. His entire life is a lie."

OK, but what would his race have to do with it?
