Now CNN is trying to annoy me.

Headline: God was certainly looking out for all of us

No, jackass - your pilot and flight crew was looking out for you. God was probably the one who tried to kill you by putting a flock of geese in the engines, and Captain Sully booked himself an economy seat in Hell for thwarting God's divine plans.

*sigh*

Also, abortion donuts, now on sale at Krispy Kreme. Another example of how words can just set people off: Krispy Kreme is offering free donuts on Inauguration Day. To publicize this, they have written the following in their press release: "Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. is honoring American's sense of pride and freedom of choice on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer on this historic day, Jan. 20...."
Guess which word set the pro-life crowd off? Not "freedom," and probably not "of."

"The unfortunate reality of a post Roe v. Wade America," writes the American Life League, "is that 'choice' is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of 'freedom of choice' is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand."

This reminds me of what was probably the funniest Daily Show segment ever: Samantha Bee going to the Republican National Convention, asking people about Bristol Palin and trying to get them to say the word "choice." I nearly shat myself I was laughing so hard....
