Life imitates art (or what Whitney and I call art, but the rest of the world calls dreck)-- and it answers an ethical question as well: in a recent case, Nicholas Creanza (a pharmacist) posed as a gynecologist and "examined" several women, but he cannot be charged with rape because of an old law that states that an assault can't be considered rape if consent is obtained through fraud or deceit, and, either coincidentally or by design, Creanza's actions mirror the plot from "Dr. Seuss"-- Random Idiot's cross-over Beastie Boy's style hit from 1991 that details how Theodore Geisel uses his honorary doctorate to open a gynecology clinic and have his way with unsuspecting women, which we thought was a felony and so sent him to jail in the song (the Grinch who stole Christmas doing thirty to life/ sent to the slammer, now he's Bubba's wife) but really, we should have just sent him for some counseling.

it would be nice if you could provide the audio with today's sentence. the world needs to hear that song.
i need to make a corresponding youtube video for it-- it's easier to post a youtube clip than an mp3.
consider the employment implications carefully before proceeding.
i thought of that right after i typed that comment. dr. seuss may only be for select, private audiences-- there will also be no "alex" and "donna k" videos . . .
