Charles Pierce Nails It  ⚐

Charles Pierce frequently finds a way to make his criticism pitch perfect. Here, talking about Indiana’s “religious freedom” law, he is able to both slam Indiana’s Governor (and his naked attempt at currying favor with the far right) and the morally-challenged NCAA.

Cat’s Cradle: Kentucky Puts Another Victim to Sleep, and a Nightmare Looms in Indiana:

Even if you’re in favor of the law, and shame on you if you are, Pence couldn’t have waited two weeks before bringing the circus to town? It may cost him the national meeting of the Disciples of Christ, and mammoth tech company Salesforce already has canceled plans to hold events in Indiana. Random celebrities have gone up the wall, and even Mark Emmert of the NCAA bestirred himself to say the right thing. And when you’ve ceded the moral high ground to the NCAA, you have drifted far from the pack indeed.

One of the best part’s of Grantland is their giving Pierce a weekly pulpit.
