Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator

I'm referring to Charlie Rangel and the void inside his head obviously.

Conscription for the military or public service would make U.S. leaders more cautious about going to war, Rangel said yesterday on CBS's ``Face the Nation.''

``There's no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft, and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way,'' said Rangel, who is in line to become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee next year.


Lucky for us (I can't believe I just typed that), Nancy Pelosi won't let him put such a point of view into action.

If she should change her mind though, I'll be right there suggesting that perhaps she should also consider that perhaps mandatory pregnancy would make people more cautious about having sex out of wedlock (or with minors, or relatives, or in adulterous affairs, or any other situation in which a child would not be a "desirable outcome").

[How do I type a raspberry? One would be so appropriate right about HERE]
