17. Now I see why the Protestants were persecuted.
What a stupid country we live in! Nobody bats an eyelash when some nut walks into a classroom and blows away a few dozen people -- which happens every other week -- people will plop down their hard earned money to watch John McClain blow up a building over and over again, but watching two people have sex is a BIG. When it comes to some guy getting a hard-on, all bets are off. I understand the Spitzer cultivated a reputation for integrity and law and order, but common'. Have you ever seen the back pages of your local newspaper's sports section? It's all ads for strip clubs and escourt services.

I'm sure all those crooks on Wall Street are sleeping a little easier today.

I hate Allan Dershowitz, but he made a pretty good point on NPR's Day to Day a few minutes ago about politicians getting their pee-pees whacked and being able to do their jobs.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88...

John Kennedy got us through the Cuban Missile Crisis while acting like a juvenile at night in the White House swimming-pool; Bill Clinotn did a fair job governing while playing with cigars; Thomas Jefferson wrote the constitution while doinking his slaves on his off hours:

So what's the big freaking deal?

I bet you dollars to donuts the very same people who are so obsessed with other people's gonads are the very ones who have the biggest problems. Look at the Catholic Church for Chris'sake! We've got the Church this week informing everyone they've come up with a whole new list of mortal sins, yet they've been enabling child molesters for decades and we're supossed to listen to them when it comes to sex? Why do closet homosexuals who supossedly never have sex have any business telling anyone what's right or wrong about what normal humans do with their sexual organs!

My God, let's just grow up.
