COME TO THINK OF IT, THE GOVERNMENT FIGURATIVELY ENGAGES IN A LOT OF THIS SORT OF ACTIVITY

9/17/10

The Chicago Sun-Times yesterday treated us to an article explaining how Christine O’Donnell, newly nominated Republican candidate for the Senate in Delaware, equates masturbation with adultery. To wit:

“The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery, so you can’t masturbate without lust.”

Okay, call me hopelessly old-fashioned, unhip, and out of touch with the modern world that increasingly repulses me. But I yearn for those benighted times in which politicians didn’t feel compelled to express their views on such vital political and governmental issues as masturbation.
