Oh, absolutely. I was just surprised they said anything at all about it.

OPM finally acknowledged it’s possible they might not get the funding to do this from Congress and then tried to compare it to getting furloughed. The mental gymnastics were Olympic level.

It’s definitely dumb, but it has been around for a very very long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_sexual_practices

Bonus gross points for the Age of Partners section.

I definitely would be a lot more likely to attend a church’s services if they put on regular drag shows. Make it a drag brunch and I’ll be there every Sunday.
