Fine set of points, Mike! Just one typo I think I should point out: When you wrote “spermicide,” you must mean “sperm.”

Thanks for your very informative and encouraging postings!

No question, DePerno is whackadoodle. I guess he’s one of the candidates McConnell was referring to as poor “candidate quality,” which is an understatement.

McConnell; takes one to know one.

We need sane candidates voted in by sane voters. Do we have enough sane voters who will get up and vote despite whatever roadblocks the magats throw in their way? Jeez I hope so Mike. Keep up the good fight.

Biden beat Trump with 7 million more (sane) voters. There are more of us. Trust that. Yes, Trump has millions of crazed supporters. I know that feels scary. But we will always have more (sane) voters. Relax — and fight!

Good heavens! DePerno must have watched Monty Python and heard the song, “ Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great. If a sperm gets wasted, God gets quite irate!” And obviously didn’t realize it wasn’t to be taken seriously, unless you happen to be Catholic or whatever! Anyway I guess the next thing on the agenda will be to ban all masturbation because that obviously wastes a lot of sperm. Which, anyway, makes about as much sense is banning abortions!! Keep up the good work, Michael. As always, you are an inspiration!

Only male masturbation. We waste not one egg when we take care of ourselves. Just saying. Hahahaha.

All MAGA Republicans are off the deep end. Are they all using drugs or what’s their problem? 🤠 #ProtectDemocracy #VoteBlue

Thanks Mike... with every one of your Tsunamis I feel a bit more hopeful. I think we've all been psychologically abused for the last 7 years, and it's made optimism harder to achieve.

You're a good man Mike. And a smart man. And we are so fortunate to have you on this planet.

I wish you everything Good, and True, and Beautiful.

So...Deperno. What's your stance on masturbation, where sperm are diverted from their mission?

The bible forbids it.

Old Testament.

Very weird.

But y’know what the bible (both parts) never mentions? Abortion. Which is as old as prostitution. So they knew about abortion and never said anything about it.

In Judaism however, abortion is required to save the life of the mother.

Christians enjoy fantasies of killing women, apparently. At least modern day American Christians do.

Well, that was the interpretation by many, but according to wikipedia, "Onan's crime is often misinterpreted to be masturbation but it is universally agreed among biblical scholars that Onan's death is attributed to his refusal to fulfill his obligation of levirate marriage with Tamar by committing coitus interruptus."

No. I was thinking of the admonition for men “not to spill their seed in the ground”

Im too tired to google it.

But an on-line concordance should have it.

That's OK. I just googled it. You must be thinking of Genesis 38:9, which reads "And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother." It's the same Onan. If you do find something in addition, please feel free to let me know about it. But that's the most direct citation I was able to find.

"a custom of the ancient Hebrews and other peoples by which a man may be obliged to marry his brother's widow."

Pretty cool word, isn't it?

Terrifying that while our country (and the world) implode, these are who are running? Sad part is that people will still vote for them.

LOL. Thank you Robert, for injecting your sweet playfulness and killer humor into your informative, chilling, yet amusing diatribes. You're the best.

I'm not sure just knowing how many whackadoodles are running for so many high positions makes me feel any better. The post about the Idaho school board member did, but there was clear evidence for that one. I mean, I hope you're right, but... how do I know you are on this one?
