What I Learned this Week
1. A man can solicit another man for public-bathroom sex just by tapping his foot.
2. There are police officers whose duties include having to sit in public bathroom stalls.
Everyone should know I’m referring to Senator Larry Craig; if you had no idea of what I was talking about, you should just go ahead and die because you’re a waste of skin. Then again, because I’m a blessing to humanity here is a video that will explain why the senator is embroiled in a scandal–so don’t die just yet. Do so if you still don’t get it after watching the clip.
Just kidding: I didn’t put up the video for educational purposes. I’m actually a really big fan of Keith Olberman’s and just wanted to immortalize his genius.
At this point, I’m pretty sure being involved in a sex scandal is part of a government official’s duties. Any politician who refrains from doing something naughty is not doing their job properly because it means he/she is not taking advantage of the power the voters have given him/her. And it all goes downhill from there because:
not using political power to get into someone’s pants –> pedophilia
It’s scientifically proven…somewhere.
However, Senator Craig’s story is interesting because he was super anti-gay rights: he opposed gay marriage; he did not want hate crime law to cover incidents that were motivated by anti-gay bias; he was against outlawing employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.
So, for him to be arrested and eventually plead guilty for soliciting sex from a man–what could possibly trump that story? NOTHING. Not the mom who let her 5 year-old-son drive a car because she was too wasted to do so; not Owen Wilson’s suicide attempt; not even the follow-up of news coverage that had been interesting before the Craig news broke (e.g. Michael Vick). Not a freaking thing.

My counselor says that you should watch the guys who are most anti-gay, because they’re probably gay themselves. If you have some guy that is sooo botherd by homosexuality, it’s probably because he has homosexual/bi issues of his own he’s dealing with. . .so really, the senator being anti-gay and yet being arrested for. . .not really ALL that surprising in my opinion. . .
It’s sad though, that people feel they have to be so opposed to it, even when they are.
There is actually a scientific study done at a university correlating anti-gay sentiments with closeted homosexual tendencies. A number of male volunteers are asked a series of questions concerning their sexuality and views of various sexual practices. The volunteer’s penis is then strapped with a modified pressure detector of sorts that measures arousal … a penis getting larger volumetrically is a sign of arousal (guys are not that complicated
) thus the pressure change is a direct indicator of arousal. The volunteer is then shown a series of sexually explicit images depicting heterosexual and homosexual activities in random and the pressure differential is measured. 
while volunteers with a more relaxed view of homosexuality are not nearly as aroused by the images.
Arousal is an involuntary reaction … you can’t lie or reason yourself out of it.
Surprisingly (or not surprisingly), volunteers that shows high level of anti-homosexual sentiments are the ones that are the most aroused by homosexual images
Sylvia, this one is awesome, I LOVE Olberman too!
I had no idea tapping your foot is soliciting for sex! It was THAT easy? Hm….*taps chin*
=D
OH MY GAWD!!!! I have been playing music in my head in a bathroom stall, and tapped my foot, countless times. I AM NEVER LEAVING MY HOUSE AGAIN!!!!!
