> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > “Nay; to take my pleasure with this one would snap her in twain like a twig. Fetch me a stouter wench!” Oh, I address that. In the Gor novels there are serums that make you invulnerable to almost all disease and illness, a serum to prevent childbirth, a serum to enable childbirth, etc. So I added hip widening serums, breast-enlarging serums, waist narrowing serums, and just for Ann, facial feature softening serums and adam’s apple shrinking serums. Bwahahahahaha! ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > To what end is she chained to the rock? Is she like a dare or something? The story is a parody of “Captive of Gor” which starts with its protagonist chained naked to a rock. In the actual Gor novel, it’s because she was kidnapped by Gorean slavers who fly to Earth in their spaceships to kidnap Earth women, because … well, just because! In my story, Ann speculates that the whole thing is a Democratic plot to make her babble like a lunatic, thus discrediting her. But she also thinks she might be dreaming. And Hilarity Clanton informs her that she was kidnapped by Lothario slavers, but Anne does not believe her. I prefer not to settle on an explanation. Though I am looking at the prospect of having her come back to Earth, babble like a lunatic, and win the Republican nomination for President. ---

A campaign ad from a Republican candidate for Congress, who’s running against the current conservative candidate. Notice the mentions of “Planned Butcherhood”, and calling the incumbent a “feminist”, which is apparently a dirty word.

[Kim Davis “said on Friday that she and her family have switched to the Republican Party because the Democrats no longer represented them.”](http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/25/us-usa-gaymarriage-kentucky-idUSKCN0RP20M20150925) Actually, as an elected representative, I’m more of the opinion it was Kim Davis who no longer represented the Democrats. But anyway, we no longer need a separate thread for County Clerk Davis. ---

MSNBC has had live coverage of the Pope’s visit for about 10 hours a day for the last few days (with Brian Williams anchoring!), followed the rest of the day and evening by respectful to reverent commentary about his visit from Catholics Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. I assume this will continue through Sunday. I don’t see how this fits into the left’s War on Christians, but they must be up to something sneaky. ---

Awww, all us unwashed masses don’t meet your approval choie? Me so sad!
