Gateway Hug

Who will be the GOP VP? Stephen explored this question.

First Rick Santorum. In a letter to Iowa voters this week, he wrote, "It truly frightens me to think what'll happen if Mitt Romney is the nominee."

"My friend, Republicans and conservatives will be crippled by a nominee who presents zero contrast with Barack Obama on the major issues of this election."

So Santorum's not the right choice.

Others have called Ron Portman of Ohio the perfect match. But Stephen said that's like the bland leading the bland.

So Portman's not the right choice.

Stephen came up with the best of all worlds - Mitt Romney's shadow. It changes positions every time he does.

Abstinence was on Stephen's mind tonight. It is effective with only one exception: it doesn't work. And so tonight's Word was Gateway Hug. Yes, hugging and kissing, first base and second base, it's all a slippery slope to be avoided. Stephen believes that puberty is a choice and that is the main reason kids have sex. According to him, we should protect what is most precious to us: the belief that abstinence-only education works.

Just a quick note about doomsday preppers (to go along with a TV show of that name). Get a doomsday prepper to be your friend. That way, you can be prepared for doomsday without having to actually do any preparation.

Arianna Huffington was tonight's guest. Where have I heard that name before? I remember, Huffington Post! She won a Pulitzer recently, so she and Stephen "discussed" the merits of Pulitzer vs. Peabody Awards.

After some good natured jokes back and forth, Arianna told Stephen what Huggington Post is all about. "Huffington Post is about right versus wrong." Well, not even Stephen can be against something so noble.
