</p><blockquote>"And to make their point about just how frightening this ruling was, the Policy Council included a photograph of the couple — a strange and androgynous-looking duo, one with bleached skin and both with mullet haircuts. The couple look so odd (you literally can't tell whether they are male or female) that one might wonder how any judge could place a young child with such a disturbing-looking duo.

<p>Except the judge didn't.

</p>

<p>The abnormal-looking couple that the Policy Council chose to illustrate this story is not the same couple granted the right to adopt the child."</p>

</blockquote>

<p>It's a bullsh*t tactic, and it is totally necessary to call them on it, but there was no need to call the (presumably) unwitting couple pictured names.</p><xhtml:img xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/squirrelly/~4/s36iVIBDbsg" height="1" width="1" /></div></content>
