Looking at the choir, I wouldn't be surprised if they are ALREADY in Florida. If these women aren't snowbird material, no one is. But the reason to send them into the gathering storm is clear. They can serenade Todd Akin, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, and all the other misogynist men who will be legitimately raping their way from strip club to strip club in Tampa next week. Why? Well, as the opening line of their song says:
Legitimate rape is GREAT birth control.
So says Todd Akin, and he ought to know.
I won't spoil the punchline, it's worth the wait. What I will say is you won't find a better example of what Laurie Anderson was talking about when she sang:
And the voice said:
Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. 'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice. And when justice is gone, there's always force. And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom.
-- Laurie Anderson, O Superman.
