What Not To Say, Part 2

Who knew abortion is not a joking matter to young Santa Monica women? A rather pleasant conversation lead to a question of who the young lady would be voting for and in total seriousness...because there is nothing to joke about here...she said, "Hillary Clinton."

"That's too bad...we, my friend and I, here...are pro-life."

I figured being in the middle of Santa Monica and drunk off our asses in an Irish bar, the humor would be obvious. But no. She literally grabbed her bag and walked off not to be seen again.

In other news, I saw a movie preview on Friday for "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?" a documentary by Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me) which looked pretty awful...despite the eerie resemblance to my 546 documentary on a search for terrorists in Los Angeles.

So on the one hand, our culture is making humor documentaries about a mass murderer who openly declared war on our country and is actively trying to kill our citizens, but one can't even joke about being pro life.

Sigh.
