Week 8
I read an article just a few seconds ago that made be so upset I had to stare into spade for a few minutes to regain my sense of self. Normally, I avoid the cesspool that partisan politics has become in our country. Normally discussion of issues becomes distorted and misused to ends other than original intentions. This particular article involved a Wisconsin GOP lawmaker who was placed down on the record as saying that "some girls rape easy." I'd like you to take a minute to let that sink in before you google the article and read it for yourself. He lost his office as well, so thank the constituency in Wisconsin for that as well, because that man was completely out of touch with the rest of the world.

It is stories like this why I am concerned about our elected officials. Even though I am sure these are not the common typical views of most in office, the simple fact that there are some that honestly believe these types of things is concerning. This one ranks right up there with the comment from Representative Todd Akin last year. He was on record saying, “It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”
