Do you have a Plan B?
Lock up your daughters and bring out your Bibles! The FDA has agreed to allow over-the-counter sales of the "morning after" pill, known as Plan B, to people 18 and older.
Concerned Women for America, a conservative group, objects on several grounds. The most bizarre is their fear that girls under 18 could be force-fed the pills by sexual predators as a way of covering up their misdeeds. This assumes that a sexual predator would shell out the $25-40 for a dose of pills as opposed to cheaper methods of birth control. Not only are they perverts, but according to CWA, they're also really bad at math.
In other news:
Daily News reporter Brad Greenberg has a piece today about people burying statues of St. Joseph upside down in their yards to bring them good luck in selling their homes. It all sounds a bit disrespectful to Joseph (who, as the ultimate stepdad, probably deserves better), but who knows?
It's kind of like the advice my good ol' pa used to give me about success in relationships: Shave daily, be polite, and make lots and lots of money. Words to live by.
Finally, the DWP has begun an ambitious project to turn the San Fernando Valley into America's largest waterpark. So meet me this weekend on the Lazy River (previously known as Ventura Boulevard).
