Now that, my friends, is comedy. Tragedy tomorrow...

Pandagon found a blog with the ridiculously trendy title of Not A Desperate Housewife. Where, taking off from the well-known show "The Vagina Monologues," someone has posted a letter from her own genitalia.

The message of which seems to be, in the words of a little ditty made famous by Three Dog Night, "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)." It basically says (in so many words), that a girl's vagina is for her future husband, not for any other fortunate souls along the way, and certainly not for herself.

Well. Amanda's vagina took exception to this, and Ms. Marcotte decided the only thing for it was a head-to-head (or...um...) challenge: Party gal vs. the Pope of Girlstown.

Place, as they say, your bets.

My vagina sounds like less of a drag than NADH's, but hers sounds like it would drive you to the airport in the middle of the night...my vagina, while well-liked by those who know her, just isn't popular enough to be the talk of the town to the point where people are spreading lies about her or trying to snatch her from me or anything like that.

When you're finished with that, on a more serious tip, Ms. Marcotte responds to the latest piece of clunky justification for being anti-choice and anti-contraception here. Once again, what gets me about the esteemed opposition isn't so much their muddy thinking, which I've only come to expect. It's their tortured prose.

The feminist establishment is in an uproar over the appointment of Judge John Roberts to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. In their minds, the abortion license established by Roe v. Wade is sacrosanct. But I believe the very concept of reproductive freedom is dangerous illusion that has brought misery to millions of people. The series of Court cases which created this illusion increased access to both contraception and abortion. These cases did indeed, allow people to change the probability of a live baby resulting from any sexual act. It would be a defensible intellectual position to claim that people are entitled to use new technologies to change these probabilities. But under feminist tutelage, the social norms and constitutional interpretation around sex and conception have morphed into a much stronger demand: We now believe that we are entitled to have sex without having a live baby result.

Gah! Anyone who writes like that isn't going to have to worry about me trying to have sex with them, I'll tell you that...
