A week ago, the Florida GOP scolded Rep. Scott Randolph (D-Orlando) when he used the word "uterus" on the statehouse floor. We at Mother Jones couldn't figure out what was wrong the word, and why it wasn't deemed worthy for public. So Jen Phillips penned a limerick in response, calling on readers to post their own reactions to the Florida GOP's buffoonery. Here are some of our favorites:
This was my fave!
To Womb it May Concern:
The word uterus is naughty, you see
Not for use in polite company
They've deprived half the nation
Of sex education
Now it burns whene'er they GO P.
While demagogues Stately and Clerical,
encourage their gals to get spherical
they won't lessen its stature
with crass nomenclature
to use Uterus makes them hysterical.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
