Margaret and Helen Are A Treasure

Here, it's Helen Philpot, who suggests a classical solution for the problem that is people voting for Bart Stupak, the nominally Democratic anti-abortion grand-stander in Michigan.

By classical, I mean a really old classic, the comedy Lysistrata, which was first performed in 411 BCE:

Bart, if you want to reduce abortions, vote to fully fund family planning and comprehensive sex education. Otherwise, shut the hell up. We don’t care what you think about our wombs.

Women in Michigan should hang a closed sign across their hoo-hoo’s until Stupak is either voted out of Congress or grows a vagina of his own. I mean it. Really.

Brilliant!

If you have the money (I don't), go to Matthew Saroff's Act Blue Page, and throw a few bucks at Connie Saltonstall, who is challenging him in the primary.
