The I Just Don’t Know

The Good:

1. Woo Pedlar Adam Miller decides that picking on vlogger activist Stephanie Gutormson was a bad idea, and runs away like Dr. Claw in an I’ll get you next time Gadget! manner. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/05/21/faith-healer-adam-miller-drops-lawsuit-against-youtuber-calling-him-out-on-his-claims/  SLAPP Lawsuit  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation

The Bad:

1. After the Duggar baby factory announced they were trying for number 20, one of their sons made them rethink the whole thing as their media empire collapsed under backlash to Josh Duggar’s admitted molestation of 5 girls including a couple of his own sisters.  WTF?
