Only three more days to International Women's Day! Today's hats-off goes to the Girl Scouts and their Young Women of Distinction honorees. As you know, the organization is currently in the news for being under fire from some Texas wackos (no, that's not redundant) led by a religious nut who suddenly objected to one of last year's winners of the Bluebonnet Council's Women of Distinction Award (near as I've been able to figure out the regional councils all held their own separate WoD awards ceremonies last year, there was no national one), Planned Parenthood of Central Texas executive director Pam Smallwood. Jeebus, that was a whole year ago, and only now the wackos are up in arms? I smell EYCWD (Election Year Culture War Distraction™)! By the way, this is not the first time PPCT has been harassed by local fringe elements, which might explain why they've apparently given in for now. (Is anyone out there able to find a link to Smallwood's editorial in last Friday's Waco Tribune-Herald? Sounds like it was good reading.) Update: Morford weighs in. From his Morning Fix e-mail:
"It's not that we're a bunch of activists. We're just a bunch of moms who care about their kids," oozed Lisa Aguilar, who took her 10-year-old daughter out of her eight-member Girl Scout troop. "For us, it's the morality. Where is Girl Scouts going?" No, Lisa, that is not the question, honeybunches. The real question is, how does it feel to have the sexual/spiritual IQ of a small rutabaga, and what sort of sad and therapy-bound and miserable and sexually inept child are you right now raising, and why did the universe ever allow you to breed in the first place, and is it just for our amusement, and isn't the damn country plenty packed already with prissy sanctimonious sexless moms who wouldn't know a Hitachi Magic Wand from a hand blender, and if you don' trust Planned Parenthood to give safe, good info about masturbation, where do you think you're daughter is going to get it, dear? That's right, lesbians. Hardcore fisting-fetishist dykes. From San Francisco. With pierced nipples. Run and hide, Lisa. Run and hide.He's such a bad boy, is our Morford...
