    Yes, and my uterus is a facsimile. I get it.

    God forbid a writer should take license in celebrating physicality as a metaphor (I said it again!) for massive, world-changing accomplishment. Next presidency, for the sake of everyone blowing a collective gasket here, I hope our leader is merely a disembodied head...or better yet, a brain in a jar.
