Wasn't really gonna do a blog on Rick Santorum today or anytime soon, hadn't planned on it but then I read this pro-abortion hit piece by Andrea Peyser in the NY Post:

This was echoed by Joan Hamburg or so I heard over on WWOR Radio in NYC who called him scary and she had on the junior Democratic Senator from New York Kirsten Gillibrand, you know the new perky pro-choicer to discuss women's health issues which is an all-encompassing and umbrella term these days covering feticide in addition to breasts and yeast infections, kind of glom it all together. Joan Hamburg just like Ann Landers before her they serve a purpose, they have a role to play. Liberals and Sex right now, they're kind of all over the map. With Gingrich they seemed to have rediscovered a more conservative morality (the serial horndog!!) but Santorum is way too puritanical for their tastes. Santorum's views on prenatal testing to be found in the link there, well yeah I'd go along with that that in most cases it's to weed out the unfit even if it ain't the original intent but I wanna focus here pretty much on the dead kid and why it doesn't concern me as a voter. You probably heard of this by now, his wife gave birth prematurely to a little boy only for their young son to die two hours later and the Santorums decided to take him home for the night even though he had already passed and they sang hymns to it and his siblings got to see it and they all prayed together or so the story goes. OK so now that we got the proper Dario Argento vibe going here's the deal, DVI or Don't Volunteer Information. It's a good practical political principle to go on and if anything Santorum is too honest and reveals too much of himself time and again but there's a reason why I firmly, passionately believe in DVI and Bill Clinton practiced this to a tee until he was cornered and that is The Folks Just Won't Understand. Bobby tried to autofellate himself one night, it made sense at the time, he was a wee bit drunk and lonely but there's no way you can spin it, climb out of the hole and so why tell the tale? That's between you and your God and He's trying not to laugh. Your next door neighbor a comely 40ish woman was ironing in the nude one day in the kitchen with the shades fully drawn up, you tell people and it matters not she had the shades drawn up and you're a man you're the voyeur, now you got a rep for being a little weird. In a few years time you'll be traveling cross-country to Nevada killing folk in the desert where they can't hear you scream for miles around eating Cap'n Crunch out of a skull for breakfast every morning. Folks just love to do this put you through the meatgrinder or woodchipper known as the Instant Social Judgement and there's no appeal or recourse of course, best move to another state. You stalked an ex once in the hopes of getting back together, in your own mental universe and given all the details you're human right? and it seemed rational at the time, well no if Peyser gets wind of it you're a Psycho and you'll be on backgroundcheck.com. I know a guy who called out sick one day and said he's not coming in today because his African Grey Parrot just died and his boss goes "you're kidding right?" and he said "no I'm not." I would've just said I'm not feeling well and left it at that, why get the evil chatter going? Speaking of pets you probably know someone who lost say a dog or a cat, puts the creature in a box but can't quite dispose of it yet and so holds it overnight and everyone can kinda think about it and so he does the right thing the next day. I kinda don't pass a judgement here but again DVI. A baby is so much more important than a pet anyway and you get the drift but Ole Honest Rick imo should have just kept this information to himself. I don't know that Rick Santorum is so scary it's that his life is too much of an open book. Best to keep some things blacked out, redacted, on the cutting room floor. They're looking for Stuff anyway:)
