Remember when it was a government crisis when Gore made a single phone call from his VP office that was said to be for 'political' purposes?
I and many hundreds of others would gladly open our purse-strings wide if you would promise to do everything within your limited powers to persuade Salon to stop promoting Camille Paglia.
It is necessary to consume both red and white wine in tall, wide-bottomed glasses, or 'tumblers,' because they hold more and are less likely to tip over when drunk. Hicc.
You quote Friedman saying the sex occured "while we were both drunk." So, when two people get drunk and have sex, and no one has said 'no,' how do you decide who has raped whom? Why is a drunk man held responsible for his actions when a drunk woman is not? I have no trouble with dumping the ass in jail (and perhaps throwing away the key) who is NOT drunk when he has sex with someone who is, even if there has never been a 'no' uttered, but it seems an entirely different kettle of fish when both are drunk.
Back when I was teenager the local courts would sometimes *sentence* petty violent crimals to the marines. What a bunch of anti-social dumbshits.
Not a myth. It was a guy in my senior class who got in one too many fights (long time ago). Marines thrive on self-mythology and hope no one busts them on it.
There is no joy quite like when an
Immigrant-bashing,
Abstinence-only pushing,
Sex-worker hating,
married republican is revealled to pay for sex from illegal aliens. I only wish he was on drugs at the time.
I don't care if there are democrats on TheList, because they aren't the bedroom-invasive weenies that the republicans are. I don't have as much of a problem with paying of sexual services as I do with hypocrisy.
