Cock: Not Lewd, Not Disgusting, Not Dirty

"At the Beach" - J.S. Sargent (1915)

Fellow blogger Patrick (Men I've...) posted that artwork. It made me realize where we were when it came to body image. We've been stuck in a quagmire of ground loss since the Newt Gingrich and his "Moral Majority" (no there's a misnomer) grabbed power in the mid-90's; when religion forced itself into government. Now, we've got someone leading the education system who will again try to force us backward.

Pro-religion, vehemently anti-science factions have burrowed in. They want us to feel shame and embarrassment.

We must not "drink their Kool-Aid."

I'll be gone for the rest of the week. We are taking a much needed mini-vacation, away from the news, away from the hatred and bigotry our government is trying to instill in us all. The plan is to return on Monday. Have a beautiful weekend. Go out and have some fun

do something that makes you laugh.
