        I hope he’s miserable and in terrible pain. But I know that fucking over the dems would be his dying wish, no matter how morbid it went; hopefully they’ll let him die now but seeing how underwater the GOP is in the senate I wouldn’t hold my breath.

          Yeah, I read at one point that that is exactly the evolutionary purpose of uncanny valley. So you steer clear of people who seem almost human, but not quite right. Since they were generally sick in some fashion, like you said.

          Because both The Onion and The Beaverton have ‘The’ in their titles, the italics is emphasizing the difference between them… Though I don’t know if that’s correct, and on reread, it does bug me too.

          Might make you less mad to read the italics as emphasis. because they’re emphasizing just that word because, that’s the one word that needed to be changed to correct the mistake.
