    Lighten up, folks

    We need a chuckle out of this whole godawful mess.

    I'm vanilla and a feminist, and I think it's funny. (Perhaps because I find the whole S/M thing hilarious to start with...)

    Gary had one good (non-sexualized) point - if the Republicans want to get government out of people's lives, and get churches and private charities & people involved, why are they sneering at community organizers.
