Ohio GOP: Sex Education, hold the sex, please

Posted by Tengrain Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

Sex is the most filthy, vile, disgusting, and degrading activity that two people can do to each other, which is why it should only happen after you are happily married.

I think that is about all that Ohio Republicans allowed teachers to say on the subject…

Shallow graves for shallow people

Death of the Media

(ABC News)

The WSJ reports that no one in DC is dressed fashionably for the Inaugural Balls.

I’m sure that Wingnuttia knows what to wear to a formal lynching.

Remember the other day when…

Ilsa she-wolf of the Nazis Michelle Malkkkin said that The Kenyan was using children as props and it counted as child abuse?

(Petunia and Pals) If it’s Thursday, it must be Malkkkin. Today she says that the President is a Child Abuser. No, really.

…it of course triggered off a day of Wingnuttian outrage comparing the president’s use of children to Sadaam Hussein‘s, it’s never been done before, etc., etc., etc.

Yes it has:

Never ask Megan McArdle how deep is her love

Shallow graves for shallow people

Jeebus, some people!

But in this post I’m specifically addressing a question that is raised by one economist or another almost every year: isn’t Christmas a huge waste? All those presents that no one wants represent huge deadweight loss. Wouldn’t well all do better by giving cash, or skipping the process entirely?

This seems like a silly question in a world of wishlists–I got the exact martini glasses I wanted, the exact electric pressure cooker I wanted, and the exact 13-inch cast iron skillet I wanted, because people could go right on my Amazon wish list and identify them. And yet, I still had the surprise and thrill of opening gifts (well, okay, I knew what the skillet was before I opened it), because there were a number of things on my list. As far as I know, this experience was shared by everyone else around the McArdle hearth. And by millions of other families in the United States.

“This seems like a silly question in a world of wishlists”

It does indeed.
