I Got You, Babe

I was just inno­cently read­ing James Taranto’s Best of the Web Today and enjoy­ing myself and then I hit the fol­low­ing line:

Nel­son said there were pos­i­tive improve­ments deal­ing with teen preg­nancy and adoption

That’s all, folks.  It’s all over.  The fed­eral gov­ern­ment is now going to deal with every­thing.  Every­thing.  If your teenage daugh­ter gets preg­nant.  If your teenage son impreg­nates a girl. The fed­eral gov­ern­ment is going to deal with it and going to deal with it in such a way that pleases not you, (if there were a way for you to be pleased in such a sit­u­a­tion) but Sen­a­tor Ben Nel­son of Nebraska.

As it is, with­out mod­i­fi­ca­tions, the lan­guage con­cern­ing abor­tion is not suf­fi­cient,” Nebraska Sen. Ben Nel­son, a key hold­out on the health care bill, said in a state­ment after first mak­ing his con­cerns known to Major­ity Leader Harry Reid, D-​​Nev.

Nel­son said there were pos­i­tive improve­ments deal­ing with teen preg­nancy and adop­tion, and that he was open to fur­ther nego­ti­a­tions. But in a radio inter­view ear­lier in the day with KLIN in Lin­coln, Nebraska, Nel­son also said that abor­tion wasn’t his only con­cern and he didn’t see how the Christ­mas dead­line was achievable.

Hey, how’s it goin, Ben?  Long time no see.  You know my wife, Marge.  Well, no, you don’t.  In fact we don’t know who you are nor what you’re doing here. But since you are, and seem to be in con­trol of things, well, we have a sit­u­a­tion here.  Kay went out to the Junior Prom with Tommy Par­sons who lives down the block and is on the track team and they decided to stop for a malt.  Nice boy, and Kay is a good girl, but you know how kids are…
