House of Eratosthenes

Woman The day our President started using the actual phrase “World War III” in his public speaking, the Number One story on the insipid “Morning News” program in my hotel had to do with a couple of yorkies wearing their adorable Halloween costumes. That’s one of the best pieces of evidence someone could use, to my knowledge, to argue that the best days of the womens’ movement are officially histoire. Nevermind whether we should elect one President, they’d say; get them out of the voting booth. And off the streets. And for heaven’s sake, will someone get them to STOP WATCHING TELEVISION before they screw things up any further.

Of course I’d never endorse such a primitive, backwards position. I’m just saying the argument is out there if someone wants to use it…and I didn’t make it that way. Personally, I think WWIII trumps dog costumes. That’s just me.

If those who wish to repeal Womens’ Suffrage wished to cite historical precedent, they could use this chronicling of politically-incorrect advertisements which I’ll have to confess…in the spirit of plain old being-truthful…I personally find to be hilarious. And not the least bit sinister, since I think it’s safe to say we’ll not be seeing anything like these used anytime soon.

And, of course, if they want to show the actual damage women can do, they can always rely on Helen Thomas (H/T Van der Leun, via Rick).

It should be noted that in citing Helen Thomas as a representative of general female participation and the effect it has on things, I’m committing a sin against political correctness. It should also be noted that I’m entirely aware of this. It should be further noted that I’m entirely unable to explain, in a logical fashion, why this is…nor do I think anybody else would be able to explain it either. Helen Thomas is a woman. Helen Thomas is dangerous. She reflects poorly on women as a whole. She makes a great argument, just by being herself, why we should barricade them in the kitchen and look back with profound regret on whatever occasion hosted the first musings that it might be a good idea to let ’em out.

Dana Perino, on the other hand, demonstrates why we should keep the women exactly where they are. A man would never have been able to take care of Ms. Thomas quite so deftly. Even the most socially-gifted and diplomatic male. We simply exist on a shorter leash than the ladies — in some ways. They can say things we cannot.

And every once in awhile, that happens to be good for the continuing survival of our country.

Thank you Dana Perino for arousing the latest debate on “why do we keep this old battleaxe around?” It’s a good debate to have. We’ve had it before, but somehow the idea never quite seems to get the attention it deserves…you know, just because Helen Thomas is a poor representative of women, doesn’t mean her fate has to be the same as that of all other women. It is possible to keep all the others involved, and just jettison this one ugly specimen, whose contribution is questionable at best in the first place. I mean, think about it. The purpose of the assembly is to extract information that would otherwise be un-extracted; discuss that which otherwise would remain undiscussed. What has this pretentious, grandstanding, blustering, pontificating toad done to bring that about lately?

This debate has seen the light of day many times. It’s turned into something of a merry-go-round. Hopefully this lap will be the last one; the effect upon Ms. Thomas’ career, will be terminal. That is my hope. For the good of the nation. And if things go that way, that would be iron-clad proof that women deserve to keep all the power and privileges they have today.

It would certainly make up for that Prohibition thing. And maybe Bill Clinton’s presidency, too.

Up to now I’ve regarded Mizzzz Thomas as a mostly harmless liberal bitty.

She is now an off-the-charts, deplorable, self-serving hag as far as I’m concerned.

I wonder how many military men she would be willing to put at risk to save her worn-out ass with an Islamists’ scimitar at her neck?

I don’t care. She’s disgusting.
