This week's quotable examples: avec requisite insightful commentary
1. High school cheerleaders must now cheer for girls' teams as often as for boys' teams thanks to federal education officials' interpretations of Title IX, the civil rights law that mandates equal playing fields for both sexes.
--- ew icky icky icky... ew!!! what if this leads to lesbianism?
2. The ideologically decrepit anti-war crowd returned to Washington last weekend for a reunion.
--- we prefer our ideologically decrepit crowds be pro-war but not willing to serve.
3. The fight against Roe, therefore, is more than a fight for the lives of the unborn. It is also a fight for the survival of our constitutional republic.
--- ah yes.. the rights of the unborn and the loss of them post-birth. This from Jeb's representation in the Shaivo case.
4. Several months ago I asked what the Iraq war effort might look like today if those on the left and in the media had conducted themselves differently.
--- it would look just like overwhelming success in Afghanistan. Hope this helps.
5. After 9/11 we had a brief infusion of backbone. Afghanistan was liberated, Pakistan tamed, Libya intimidated and al Qaeda scattered. But when Iraq proved difficult, the voices of retreat and failure gained momentum.
--- you mean, when all of our WOT'ism focus and funding shifted away from the primary goal onto the preznit's planless vendetta it all went to hell in a handbasket.
