When you read the word "gorgon," what image comes to mind?

Replace Boris with Uma Thurman

And incidentally, wouldn’t MED-USA be a much better name for ObamaCare? And there’s already the caduceus, so the imagery coincides perfectly…

me too

Getting the name wrong was PART OF THE JOKE!

Oh. You really should, like, label those.

As for the hotness factor, I’ve always pictured Medusa (or other gorgons) as being butterfaces, or maybe butterskins. The curves are all right, but then there’s the whole scaly bloody angry thing.

That is beneath me.

Far be it from me to speculate on my God’s motives or aims, but I tend to think that when She transformed Medusa into her monstrous from, it would have pleased Her to allow her to retain the facial pulchritude she had as a mortal. Whatever ugliness Medusa had was spiritual, not physical; the petrifying effect was only an expression of what was inside.

It should go without saying of course that Medusa, like Arachnae, totally had it coming.

The other gorgons may well have had disfigured faces, however.

Oh.

Then you spelled “whoosh” wrong. It has no “g’s”, “l’s”, “a’s” “r’s”, or “e’s.”

The usual threats.
