Will Someone Please Pay for my Rubbers

[erfalf]

I think Erfalf is just the Washington County version of Gassy...

Thanks for the compliment  

And just so I'm straight, would I still be getting the snarky Washington County/Bartlesville comments if I were from say New York/Portland/San Fran? Is it just cause I'm not a Tulsan or is it because Bartlesville is some sub-class of city and therefore all it's residents un equal to the likes of Tulsans. Please tell me because as a non-native of either, I would like to know.

[Townsend]

Just out of curriosity, why did you ask that that particular question?

You quoted a statement about providing corn to the poor.

So wait, it's okay that I'm "paying" for viagra for Bob Dole, but when it comes to birth control....

Wow, you derived all that from my post?  Must be an inferiority complex.

And don't be so sure it's a compliment.  You have not mastered 'speculation without citation' yet.

Oh, but to clarify, why don't you look at some of my replies to sauerkraut, especially while he wasn't living here (I still have no proof that he does live here).  I don't care where you are from, don't front yourself as a Tulsa resident if you aren't.  And while you are closer than most, the last I checked...this wasn't called Bartlesville/UncleFrank Now.

I'm also equally as snarky to those posters from down the pike.  They get a special level of snark for that alone.

No, there was just a slight hint (plus the UncleFrank comment you just made), maybe you didn't hear it, but I've gotten more subtle responses elsewhere. I just didn't know if it was where I was from or that I wasn't from Tulsa. I wanted to know if B'Ville was looked at as kind of a joke. While it has it's faults, it kind of reminds me of a tiny Tulsa: A little too full of itself. And just because I don't reside in the city limits doesn't mean I don't support the city financially. I've got skin in the game if you will.

It's not you, he's like that to everyone who offers diversity in opinion.  When he can't attack a position, he attacks the poster.  He'll start following you around now and blowing rasberries.  Get used to it.

Glad your powers of prognostication are in full swing Scott.  Too bad they're incorrect.  Don't quit your day job.  You might read subsequent posts before jumping on the bandwagon.

And the comment about 'attacking the poster, not the position'...are you sure you're not confusing me with a good attorney friend of yours who posts on here?  I don't care what a person's position is.  If they have one, of course that's their right.  Don't misrepresent though where you live or you will hear it from me.

Me thinks Scott hasn't had his morning Fox News yet..or Drudge Report.  Tends to make him a little grumpy.

^Had to reread that twice. Then I realized you weren't referring to yourself.

Perhaps some are assuming that Bob Dole was wanting viagra in order to just have sex,,, no no no, he needed it so that he could have children.   Having sex in order to have children is not a "lifestyle choice"  (Or is it?), having sex for intimacy or pleasure alone IS a "lifestyle choice".

Well then I've lifestyled myself silly over the years.  Guilty guilty guilty

Not too often I disagree, but I would submit that it is a lifestyle choice.  And sometimes a very poor one...

[we vs us]

Back to the "Paying for rubbers", I'd just like to reset the conversation so I'm clear. If we just remove the whole incedent of Rush having foot in mouth disease, what is the big uproar about anyways?

If we take Rush out of the conversation, we're still talking about healthcare coverage for women, and how Mr. Issa decided (stupidly) to deny the Dems on his committee a small courtesy, which was to admit their witnesses  (Ms. Fluke wasn't the only one X'd by Issa).  It was actually a pissy little move, that had little actual political value at the time but had a lot of eff-you value to the Dems on his committee.  Sadly, I think he way underestimated the boomerang effect.  Amongst activists -- and actually, just amongst ladies who pay attention on social media, which is where this really took off -- it dovetailed with the Susan G Komen defunding of Planned Parenthood, it dovetailed with Santorum's voluble antiabortion and general culture war stances, and a lot of below-the-radar state gov shenanigans perpetrated by even more retrograde GOPers (seen this thing about Arizona?  It's eye-popping.). 

So:  all of this petty gamesmanship by Issa about his committee was already fermenting and Rush went and took a running leap into the cauldron. 

I have to say, apart from the (ill)reported specifics of Ms. Fluke's case, the GOP has really been making some shocking assaults against women's reproductive health . . . and again, most of it on the state level.

another uncaring white guy with the smack down that's been long coming on the "gimme free BC":

I get so confused with this issue. Again, how is it free when its part of an insurance premium that you, or your employer, or both are paying? If the employer includes it in his insurance plan, it is still part of the benefits package he uses to compensate employees.

So, where does the "free" come in?
