In the time it takes you to read this post, New York Senator Chuck Shumer will have agreed, finally, to accept a light ranch dressing on the side of his Cobb salad, having satisfied himself that his Booeymonger’s waitress, Tina M., is not “ideologically committed” to “rolling back civil rights to the political dark ages, a time when Blacks were routinely lynched—and when women’s reproductive rights were a cash-only business entrusted to back-alley butchers whose only expertise was the ability to manipulate a rust-caked coat hanger.”**

BINGO!
If “balance” is so important, why isn’t Rudy Guiliani New York’s other senator?
Because, Salt Lick, if the gods are smiling, he’s running for the Big Chair in 2008.
First!
Ss, is that the Democrats’ way of counting votes you’re using there?
Schumer thinks Reagan chose O’Connor to heal the country after a “devisive” 1980 election? Spare me.
Does anyone out there know anyone who voted for Carter in 1980, BTW?
That is, of course, assuming that Tina did not try to get between the Senator and a camera. And what is this back alley thing? I mean, an alley has to have two openings, otherwise it would be a mews, or something like that, as we all know. So who decides what is the front and what is the back, and why do we always move to the back of the alley, after it has been determined that that indeed is the back of the alley, for stuff like abortions? And wouldn’t it make more sense to do these things in the middle of the alley? Away from the openings? Just a thought for a slow Monday afternoon.
Schumer is such a buffoon.
I voted for Carter in 1980. I also voted for Clinton in 1992. There are two reasons I try to get it right from now on. (I have more, but I’m not telling right now.)
Shumer’s mom used to beat him up and take his lunch money (evidently the coat hanger thing didn’t work for her).
Alley in the back.
”…..NO……WIRE…..COATHANGERS!!!!!!!!!
“Forty-third in a series of real-time empirical observations”
And, soooooooo?
Well, that means there were 42 previous entries in the series.
Wow, an unusual spotting of the elusive twin asterisk-links. That, alone, puts this post up with the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
Of course, PW is a well-known center of single-asterisk link stalking. The blog’s proprietor, an individual known variously as “one of six people on the internet who can define ‘analepsis’ without Google” or “a guy that can make you feel like the subject of a Rene Magritte painting,” is known for his cultivation of minimized link tags that contain fully realized context—a sort of HTML bonsai.
What I want to know is why do back alley abortionists always use a rusty coat hanger? Is it some procedural requirement? Are there professional sanctions against abortionists who use brand-new coathangers?
And if not, then I recommend that these back alley abortionists set up shop in an alley behind a dry-cleaners, therefore assuring themselves a good supply of brand new, non-rust-caked coathangers.
Random thought of the day.
