Parenting Freedom draws comparisons between the Olympic village and… Sodom and Gomorrah. From an MSNBC report…
Inevitably, some athletes get beyond flirting. That’s why the Vancouver organizers have laid in a stock of 100k condoms, which works out to 14 for each of the 7,000 athletes, coaches, trainers and officials housed in the Games’ two villages.
Pro-Life With Christ tells the conversion story of former Olympic speed skater Kirstin Holum, now known as Sister Catherine Mary.
Mark Pickup writes about Danny Williams, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada (who works virtually for free and was a multi-millionnaire before assuming the office). Williams is under fire for choosing US health care for his heart surgery instead of Canada’s universal health care. Williams is paying for the surgery himself and defends his decision:
I was warned by my staff that this could be an issue…. But this is my heart. It’s my health and it’s my choice.
Pickup adds, “The very media and government elites who tout ‘choice’ when it comes to abortion decry a man’s ‘choice’ when it comes to his own life.”
Not Dead Yet spotlights the efforts of disability advocates in MA who testified this week against a proposed state assisted suicide bill:
If Olympic athletes can be responsible for getting their bodies into peak athletic condition and all the rigorous training they do, they can be responsible for getting their own condoms. Any adult who wants to have sex should be responsible for getting birth control if they want to use it, and anyone who’s not an adult shouldn’t be having sex.
What’s with all this paternalistic attitude towards people having sex? They do the same thing on college campuses, too, have free condoms all over the place. People go out and buy toothpaste and dental floss and asprin and that sort of thing all the time, so why aren’t they expected to buy their own condoms?
Oh, joke:
A man goes to a job interview for a sales position. After the interview is over, the boss says, “Well, you’re very qualified, but there’s one problem. Your right eye keeps winking every few seconds and that’s going to be distracting for customers.”
“It’s a tic,” the man says. “I can stop it if I take an asprin.”
“All right,” says the boss, “show me.”
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out his car keys, seven or eight condoms, and then, finally, a bottle of asprin. He takes an asprin and the winking stops.
“Well, that’s fine,” says the boss, looking at the condoms, “but we don’t condone womanizing here.”
“No, no,” the man protests, “you’ve got me all wrong! Have you ever tried asking someone for an asprin while winking?”
God help us all
lol, i enjoyed the joke marauder. :)
Danny Williams had his surgery here in Oklahoma. It was all over the local news, yet when it was reported in the Newfoundland news (my husband is from Newfoundland) they tried to say that he had his surgery in Florida. Not sure why the discrepancy.
Follow up on the first story:

He went to FL after his surgery. Lazy reporting I think.

condom joke:
While Ronald Reagan was still president, Mikhail Gorbechev called Reagan on the ‘hot line’ and asked him for a private personal favor.
It seems AIDs had penetrated the Iron Curtain and the socialist paradise was not able to produce enough condoms to adequately protect the Evil Empire’s workers.
Mikhail asked Reagan if he could arrange an emergency shipment of condoms to the ‘motherland’.
Reagan immediatley agreed to Mikhail’s request.
As soon as Reagan got off the phone with the Soviet premier he called Trojan and asked them to expedite a shipment of ‘Extra Large’ condoms to the Soviet Union.
The Trojan rep asked if there was anything else.
Reagan said, ‘Yes, now that you ask, I want them all labeled in Russian with these two things; 1. ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ and 2. ‘Medium’.
