Will Nehs sent a link to this news story, in which Hillary Clinton is described as “snippy.” Will is worried that he will feel like Randle McMurphy if Hillary is elected president. Is anyone else worried about this? Maybe what really worries Will is that he will feel like Peter Abelard. Here is Abelard’s account of his castration:

When her uncle and his kinsmen heard of this, they were convinced that now I had completely played them false and had rid myself forever of Heloise by forcing her to become a nun. Violently incensed, they laid a plot against me, and one night while I all unsuspecting was asleep in a secret room in my lodgings, they broke in with the help of one of my servants whom they had bribed. There they had vengeance on me with a most cruel and most shameful punishment, such as astounded the whole world; for they cut off those parts of my body with which I had done that which was the cause of their sorrow. This done, straightway they fled, but two of them were captured and suffered the loss of their eyes and their genital organs. One of these two was the aforesaid servant, who even while he was still in my service, had been led by his avarice to betray me.

Ouch.
