Foster Friess says that back in his day, 'gals kept aspirin between their knees, for contraception.'

'This contraception thing was so inexpensive back then.'

Left Andrea Mitchell speechless. 'Er, excuse me... I'm just trying to catch my breath from that, frankly Mr. Friess.'

Took her a few seconds to compose herself and keep talking.

This was live on her show, just now.

Santorum isn't the frontrunner because of anything Santorum is doing, it's because of money from Foster Friess.

these guys basically hate women as people and desire to return them to the status of chattel.

And why do the M$M mouth peices not call out these individuals on such garbage? Why keep talking and playing to the agenda? Mitchell is kinda making it too obvious imo. Why even ask them anything...just tell people how to vote, it is what the M$M would like to have a monopoly on.

would go a long ways...just allowing their sexism to go unchallenged...but maybe you are right and the words speak for themselves and don't need any comment.

I am just kinda shocked.

"keep one foot on the floor" rule for students visiting the dorm rooms of opposite-sex students. Visiting hours were highly restricted and you also had to keep the door propped open with a book.

I was whomper-jawed. This was the late seventies/early eighties, and I was living in a coed dorm, with no restrictions, at a different school.
