What Nine Dollars Buys

I knew someone would research prices for birth control eventually. Newsbusters:

In all this fuss and distraction from the real problems this nation is facing, nobody noticed that since 2007 Walmart has been offering a month's worth of birth control pills for only $9...

..Fertility and prescription birth control will also be included at $9, compared to national average prices ranging from $24 to $30 per month and saving women an estimated $15 to $21 per month – $180 to $250 annually.

So not only are birth control pills available for $108 per year, the high end of range is around $350. (nowhere near the $1000 Sandra Fluke claimed)

To put this in perspective, you can get a month's worth of birth control for less than the cost of making a "WE DEMAND ALL CATHOLIC SCHOOLS EMPLOYERS AND HOSPITALS PAY FOR OUR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS" poster.

You can get a month's worth of birth control pills for less than the price of a Black and White Shemagh Heavyweight Arab Tactical Keffiyeh.

And hey, you can get a years worth of birth control for what it would cost me to fill up the tank of my van. (if they didn't limit the pump to $90 per transaction)

Clearly, this isn't about need. This is about rubbing the Catholic church's nose in it. This is about defeating religion. This is about erasing the first amendment to the Constitution.

The President pets an invisible cat before going in to speak at the Federation to Flush More Tax Dollars for Unsustainable but Connected (Wink Wink) Solar Energy Companies of America.

That "Girl" - Sandra Fluke

From inside the hole: "Oh yes, some days I am discouraged.
But when I'm down I think of all those who have it worse than
me. Like that poor woman, Sandra Fluke. Do you know the
Jesuits won't pay for her birth control pills? No really, it's true."

By now people have noticed that Sandra Fluke will be 31 years old next month. And that she researched Georgetown, and knew the Jesuits wouldn't cover birth control before she applied. Seems she's always been an activist.

Let's hope she gets this out of her system before she notices that her child bearing years are drawing to a close. Having a healthy baby gets more complicated in another ten years Sandra.

I Fixed Putin's Graffiti

I saw the original on Drudge and decided to fix it.

It looks like Putin is headed for another term as president. Not a good thing for the Russian people, I'm thinking.

The World Reacts to Sandra Fluke's Testimony

It ends abruptly, but so does western civilization. So as the filmmaker, I get to call it a metaphor.

(also, btw, did you notice she presented the bill for contraceptives needed over her entire three years of law school but lamented that she couldn't pay for it with one summer's wages?)

Human Dominoes

This world is soo unfair. Think about it, the 850 participants were all wearing the same shirt. That's 850 X $15 = $12,750.00 for just the t-shirts. Do you realize that much money could buy Sandra Fluke birth control pills for over 12 years?

And look how happy these people are; like they haven't got a care in the world. They're in New Orleans. Do they know that just 1086 miles up the road (1157 mi if you take rt 95) there is a poor law student that can't afford to have sex? That's right, can't afford it. Laugh and be happy you mindless amerikan troglodytes. All I can do is weep.

This is for you Sandra,



Mute the dominoes and play the violin soundtrack while watching this mindless fun. Then ponder how meaningless our earthly pursuits are when compared to the Sandra Fluke tragedy.

Poor Little Rich Girl, Sandra Fluke

It needs to be said as often as possible: Nobody wants to limit access to birth control. The opposition is to President Obama mandating that Catholic organizations pay for birth control for employees. But never mind Catholic organizations, Obama's mandate covers all employers; who also may have religious objections.

That's the dealio. So when HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius calls opposition a “cynical attempt to roll back decades of progress in women’s health,” she's lying to you. This is brand new. This is the government deciding what you will buy if you have employees and deciding what is free for everyone.

This is a direct assault on religious liberty. But also, it's another government intrusion into our lives. I simply don't want to buy morning after pills for this spoiled rich kid. I object to the morning after pill anyway; but why should the government make me buy her anything?

Ten years from now when Sandra Fluke is a well paid lawyer, I don't want subsidize her $100k Tesla Roadster. I don't want to buy her lunch, her laptop, or her keffiyeh; so I certainly don't want to buy her birth control.

BTW- I only ever get to listen to Rush Limbaugh when I'm driving but I'm getting a kick out of his Sandra-the-slut needle. Of course she doesn't "have so much sex that someone needs to help her with the birth control bills." You only have to buy your Pill Rx once a month to have all the sex you want. But Rush is putting the focus back on this whiny spoiled child. Of course she can pay for her birth control. People who want birth control have always paid for it themselves.

The hopey-changists are only doing this now because they want to rope in the half-informed. And if you think Rush is being mean, (and well yes, he is a little) what about a President who orders the Catholic Church to buy and supply abortifacients? That is more than mean; it's unconstitutional.

Old is New Again

Remember those old Soviet posters with arms raised? Sometimes raised in defiance, sometimes raised in exultation, sometimes just joy arms, like spirit fingers.
