Calrification: Non-Binding Resolution and Self Gratification
Posted by Frank J. at 11:55 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (13)

I like to keep this site family-friendly--or, at least, not obscene--but I felt compelled to compare passing a non-binding resolution to masturbation. This post was linked by Salon and we got some... uh... new commenters on the subject. Many disputed the similarity between passing a non-binding resolution and Harry Reid going to his office to masturbate saying that such a resolution was more like public masturbation.

"I would like to bring to your attention amendment number--HARRY REID!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"

More like that.

David Vogel of The Cultural Report sent me a link to this anti-Iraq War site MoveCongress.org where it's supporting a national "Meet Up with Your Member Week." If it takes Democrats a whole week to find their members, then perhaps masturbation is a much more complex and involving activity than a non-binding resolution and thus not a valid comparison.
