…hunting club which includes so many of Scalia’s friends and associates in Washington high society. He did not eat meat to sustain life, but as an expression of his affluence and thirst for adventure, which was maintained under the pretense that the “sport” was real.

…o shooting. While some large media outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post have called the shooter’s motivations racist, there are still many euphemisms swirling around, like “racially motivated,” for example, despite the fact that the shooter himself identifies as a racist. This article in The Week actually notes that the shooter “described himself…as a white supremacist,” yet it still uses the euphemistic phrase “racially motivat…
