AlphaLiberal said...: But only for electronic/electric gadgets. The Bush Administration does not want you to have sex if you're single and under 30. It's all part of the Christianist (or theocratic if you prefer) agenda intended to make you live by their religious code.

Abstinence message goes beyond teens
The federal government's "no sex without marriage" message isn't just for kids anymore.

Now the government is targeting unmarried adults up to age 29 as part of its abstinence-only programs, which include millions of dollars in federal money that will be available to the states under revised federal grant guidelines for 2007.

Clue for the wingnuts: if you want to stop unwanted pregnancies, then support reproductive education and birth control.

These kind of half-assed policies are why abortions decline under Democratic Presidents and rise under Republican Presidents.

Will Ann Althouse criticize the Bush theocratic policies? I won't hold my breath!; 12/1/06, 10:11 AM

I thought the same thing. Funny, though.; 12/1/06, 10:33 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Alpha: I almost linked to that article. In the end, it's not that interesting. Anyway, you equate persuasion with compulsion. That makes you look hysterical.; 12/1/06, 10:54 AM
Anonymous said...: OhMiBod? Ewww.

Alpha Liberal, you haven't been around Althouse for very long but already you have a reputation for consistently failing to address the topic of the post. At the risk of encouraging you in that annoying habit, I must take issue with your assertion: abortions decline under Democratic Presidents and rise under Republican Presidents.

This blatant lie has been completely and thoroughly debunked for a year and a half, now. If you're going to interject political irrelevancies, you could at least try sticking to those that are factually correct.; 12/1/06, 10:57 AM
Ann Althouse said...: A warning would have ruined the fun. And there's no nudity or conspicuous bad language. It's just some dumb plastic. If you're going to get upset by everything that looks remotely like a penis...; 12/1/06, 11:00 AM

Anonymous said...: More than just a pleasure toy, OhMiBod harnesses the iPod movement and popularity to bring a higher level of acceptance and openness about sexuality in a fun and liberating way.

Heh. "When you use the OhMiBod, you're not just sitting around masturbating, you're at the vanguard of a progressive sexual acceptance movement."; 12/1/06, 12:59 PM
KCFleming said...: Well, I'm in trouble. I got the dreaded NSFW bluescreen saying "We encourage employees not to view.... etc. etc.

I figured it out, though. Attaching it to Sippican's industrial model will be a challenge, but looks to be worth the investment. An iPod remote would seal the deal.; 12/1/06, 1:15 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Okay, based on Pogo's bluescreen, etc. I put up a warning... but it ruins the joike.; 12/1/06, 6:43 PM
KCFleming said...: Oh heck, I ruined a good joke.

Geez, at my work, Mormon underwear gets NSFW bluescreened.; 12/1/06, 9:53 PM
