Camille Paglia swings….. and misses

Op-Ed Contributor – No Sex Please, We’re Middle Class – NYTimes.com.

Sometimes the lib-lady gets it, but this time it’s a total miss.   Ms. Paglia tackles the flibanserin, female viagra pill issue, and concludes that middle class white values and ambition are a major factor in killing the sex drive.

Apparently she thinks that need to work for  a living, is bad for a woman’s libido, and she’s finding the main  work place with which she is familiar, to be stifling the desires of women.

Now hear this, Camille…….  the PILL (in general) stifles sex drive, and legions of couples have been leaving it behind for just  that reason.  Pharmer chalks a good deal of trouble to fooling with the chemistry, as well as culturally  marginalizing manhood.

In addition……. those dastardly incurable STDs have been ruining the romantic weekends and setting people off schedule.   Yes……. a hot and steamy  cruise is planned, and what happens???  A condylomatous bloom or herpes outbreak puts a big un-kink in the vacation!

The weekenders only appear spontaneous  in the movies, for your troops, Ms. Paglia.  And any actor will tell you,  that’s the farthest thing from reality.

Pssssst…… Doesn’t it all make you want to move Down on the Pharm?   😉

Free Health Care When? and Yes, Free Viagra for Sex Offenders

Health care overhaul spawns mass confusion for public | McClatchy.

Above linked is an address of public  misunderstandings about the scope and the time frame of implementation for Obamacare.

Unmentioned in the article are hospitals which were diverting patients, and on  critical census status  in the week after obamacare passed, due to this little misunderstanding about Obamacare.

Such is the degree to which the supporters of Obamacare understood what they were supporting.

According to Rollcall, the Congressional Research Service has confirmed that sex offenders and rapists will have access to tax payer funded Viagra and other sex performance enhancers under the current Obamacare plan.

Republican Senator Tom Coburn had offered an amendment to allow democrats a way out of this embarrassing situation.  Apparently fearing a backlash from their associates and constituency, the democrats declined to pass the Coburn sponsored amendment to eliminate coverage of Viagra for known sex offenders.

Dems support buying viagra for sex offenders

Tom Coburn opened the trap and the Senate Dems jumped right in.

An amendment to the health care bill was introduced to stop any funding for Viagra and like drugs for sex offenders, rapists, and pedophiles.

The dems, claiming this amendment to be a mockery of the senate and themselves, did exactly as was expected, and voted against it… thus supporting the funding of erectile dysfunction treatments for sex offenders.

The Amendment was defeated 57 – 42.

T shirts, commercials, bumper stickers and ads are forthcoming, to celebrate this pavlovian response.

An investigational drug for depression failed in clinical trials, but an unintended side effect might translate to marketability of this drug as a libido enhancer for ladies.


Boehringer Ingleheim conducted clinical trials of Flibanserin in North America, and findings indicate that  taking 100mg of  drug per day over 24 weeks elicited patient  reports of significant increase of libido and number of satisfactory sexual encounters.

Recall that Viagra was first tested for hypertension, found wanting, and was  then made famous as a “pick me up” for men.  The same compound is also used to treat pulmonary hypertension.

Flibanserin is still only an investigational drug.   Patience, gurrrls.
