A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    And Anudder Thing, Heru

    I have a GPS and I can program it to have a British accent. I call it "Charles" when it's in Brit mode. In Brit mode, when you go off route, Charles very politely asks: "Would you like to recalculate?"

    I would offer you that same chance. Would you like to recalculate this statement?

    A woman has the choice to use birth control or even to not engage in sex -- she has a lot of choice before the act that produces children --- and seems to surprise everyone. (need more education on that score)

    Firstly, birth control fails. I have defied three very good methods, myself; although, my ovaries should probably be inducted into the Ovarian Hall of Fame.

    Secondly, there is a Y-chromosome involved.

    Thirdly, I'll ask you this - if you had impregnated every woman you ever slept with, how many "unplanned" children would you have sired?

    Perhaps you are one of the rare few who have only had one lover and it is their spouse. If so, imagine the vast majority of the rest of your male friends answering that question.

    See how ridiculous that seems?
