Miss Fluke goes to Washington
When even casual sex requires a state welfare program, you're pretty much done for.
I'm writing this from Australia, so, if I'm not quite up to speed on recent events in the United States, bear with me – the telegraph updates are a bit slow here in the bush. As I understand it, Sandra Fluke is a young coed who attends Georgetown Law and recently testified before Congress.
Oh, wait, no. Update: It wasn't a congressional hearing; the Democrats just got it up to look like one, like summer stock, with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid doing the show right here in the barn and providing a cardboard set for the world premiere of "Miss Fluke Goes To Washington," with full supporting cast led by Chuck Schumer strolling in through the French windows in tennis whites and drawling, "Anyone for bull****?"
Oh, and the "young coed" turns out to be 30, which is what less-evolved cultures refer to as early middle age. She's a couple of years younger than Mozart was at the time he croaked but, if the Dems are to be believed, the plucky little Grade 24 schoolgirl has already made an even greater contribution to humanity.

ReplyDeleteSorry, I have to disagree with Mark here. I think of 30 year olds as "barely legal".
So that would merely make you an "older" man rather than a "dirty old" man? ;)

DeleteThe two issues that created the largest mass-mobilization of common people in North America into the political arena were:
ReplyDelete1) a Toronto's cop stating that women should not look for trouble by dressing like sluts in the middle of the night in a big city; and
2) a Georgetown law student's protest that her birth control pill was not covered by the student health plan.
While what passes for a conservative movement in North America spends weeks on end discussing the finer points of policy towards Syria or whether "Mitt" has what it takes, any dispassionate observer would conclude that no one much cares about politics unless it intrudes on a woman's ability to have consequence free sex and the power that goes with that commodity.
