For Pete’s Sake
Pete Olson is my own personal congressvarmint. I don’t talk about him much because he’s furniture. No, seriously, he does nothing in Congress and can only rarely be identified from his desk.
But, he’s gotten a little feisty lately. He took his little anti-choice self and went on the electric radio to announce that he shouldn’t have to pay for pre-natal care health insurance because he can’t get pregnant. In fact ….
Olson laughed about it and said, “We have what’s called an X chromosome . . . which means we can’t have a baby. Why do we have to pay for that coverage we can’t use?”
Well, wait a minute. Didn’t you use it as a fetus?
And secondly, an X chromosome doesn’t make you a man, and apparently a suit and a seat in congress doesn’t either. Honey, it’s the Y chromosome, but I’m perfectly okay with whatever he wants it to be. Maybe he marches in the Chromosome Pride Parade and there’s nothing wrong with that.
