I live in Denver, and as a resident who couldn't get credentials, I'm seeing a lot of the outside of the convention. Today I saw a truck driving around with pictures of a late-term aborted baby, and a bunch of blonde teenagers in Abercrombie and Fitch holding signs with pictures of fetuses at various stages of development (. . . is there really proof that fetuses dream?), but nowhere--not on the street vendors' tables, not in the DNC or the official Obama store--could I find any way to show my pro-choice Obama support. from the outside, I'm not seeing a ton of pro-choice anything (the closest thing I've seen are the Trojan people).

so tell me, please: where are my people?

Educational, functional, sexy, and funny.

I love it.

Are Glenn Greenwald and Camille Paglia the only adults at Salon?

"If John McCain wins this election, you're screwed."

Are these available in Europe? If not, how can your order them?

The best line in the linked New York Times story is the last one, after he's been completed flustered by not knowing that condoms help prevent the spread of STD's:

"This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year."

Gotta love the Chicago Tribune. I'm sure they enjoy the McCain barbecues.

I would have a very difficult time maintaining an erection the moment the words "John McCain" entered my mind.

I mean, if he was in the Navy, and he went to port-of-call in places like Subic Bay, wouldn't he *>somehow<* have heard something about using condoms to keep from catching the drip? The unit I was stationed with on the Korean DMZ had them not only at the PX, but the front gate, too. One World War II veteran (B-17 waist gunner) told me they had the same thing at the front gate of his airfield in England.

Or, perhaps it's just that the "straight-talkin' maverick" has no idea of how to weasel through such a question.

(By the way, that VD slide show they would show us when I was in Korea had the kind of images rarely seen outside of a teenage horror flick. Sheesh!)

“People don’t want to think of me when they reach for their birth control”

Can I order these? I'd love to pass them out at my coffee shop in the morning.

Looks like you'll have to attend the convention to get a supply of these babies. I checked PP's website to no avail. Getting a supply to pass out on street corners would be enough to spur me to attend the convention, an event I'd normally avoid like an STD or a pregnancy.

Rock on PP!!
