Repressed Feelings in Romneyland: Just Gotta Have It!

His undying love for unbridled free enterprise aside,  Mitt Romney has recently proposed a new mandate:   Every new computer sold in the United States must be equipped with a filter to block access to porn sites.   (I recognize that the intent is to enable parents to shield their kiddos from the opportunity  to ogle a lot of unconventional  stuff out there in cyberspace,  which is understandable;  y'know,  items such as  man-on-dog  unions that crusaders like Rick Santorum are so fond of discussing).   

But Master Romney really oughta know better.   A 2009 survey commissioned by the Harvard Business School  has revealed  that,  in general,   the greatest demand for pornographic ogling is in red states  ---   particularly ones with heavy concentrations of evangelicals.   

The state at the very pinnacle of the list?  Utah!   Among the top ten states --- eight of which bear a deep scarlet pigment --- are such playpens of lust as Mississippi,  Oklahoma, Arkansas,  Louisiana  (Hey there,  Senator Vitter),  and West Virginia.

Does the Good Governor really  want to alienate so many of his likely supporters by creating obstacles that make it more difficult for them to relieve their repressed feelings?   'Cuz that's really what it's all about:  repression!   The more the message that they can't have their visual whoopie is reinforced,  the more they gotta  have it!

These poor  folks just need a chance to drain their anatomical boilers once in a while,  to relieve all that pent-up pressure.  

A word to the wise:  Denial could be dicey!

  2. My older mobile home has a hard wired smoke detector that needs replacing. I've lived in the home for 6 years now & I don't have a clue as to when it was installed. Will I be able to find another hardwired model? Is it better to switch to battery operated? If I find a hardwired model, should I do this change myself or let a handyman with electrical experience install a hardwired detector?

  3. Hi Bella,

    I'm not really an electrician even though my blog title contains the word "hardwired". But I did recently install a battery-operated smoke detector at my residence. It was easy, even for a ten-thumbed doofus like me.

    Take care,
    Dan
