Happy Valentine’s Day!

posted by on February 14 at 11:42 AM

In honor of yesterday’s ruling overturning Texas’s law against owning dildos… Ladies and gentlemen, the late, great Molly Ivins:

(And Dan, you know as well as anyone that “straight ladies” aren’t the only ones out there buying dildos—ahem, anatomically correct condom education models.)

I'm pretty sure he made a point to say as much. You know, in the first sentence.

@1: Actually, Dan's first sentence was, "As of today it’s legal for straight ladies in Texas to own dildos and vibrators—and they’ve got litigious gays to thank."

So where does he say that non-straight ladies are buying dildos? The litigious gays sued over not being allowed to have consensual sex with each other, and the ruling on that case influenced the decision about personal pleasure devices.

But hey, feel free to give Erica a hard time over something harmless; that's really popular around here.

Texas politics already reminds me how incredibly boring Washington politics is by comparison.

The perfect gift for the pro-enviro woman who has one ... rechargeable batteries ...

Wrapped with a bow.

Neat article, ECB!

ECB, you know that Molly DID NOT like Hillary right?

There is a great article that she wrote that was in The Nation magazine a couple of years ago where she warned against Hillary being President. Something about triangleation and manipulation?

That debate got better when Dana started asking Warren about what would happen if she and her husband were engaged in intimate relations and "he slipped." I believe Warren told her to go see a doctor.

God bless the Texas legislature.
