Look Back at 2014


For John, BLUFI am predicting a steep decline in marriage rates for female college graduates.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



From National Review we have this humorous look back on 2014, by Writer George Will:  "Thanks, Big Government:  A look at some of the more entertaining recent headlines to come out of Obama’s America".

Here is the first paragraph:

Before the tryptophan in the turkey induces somnolence, give thanks for living in such an entertaining country.  This year, for example, we learned that California’s Legislature includes 93 persons who seem never to have had sex.  They enacted the “affirmative consent” law directing college administrators to tell students that sexual consent cannot be silence but must be “affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement” and “ongoing throughout a sexual activity.”  Claremont McKenna College requires “all” — not “both,” which would discriminate against groups — participants in a sexual engagement to understand that withdrawal of consent can be any behavior conveying “that an individual is hesitant, confused, uncertain.”
And from there it only gets better.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.

  1. This was in the Merc yesterday, but you can't read it because you can't get past the premise of the first paragraph which is that unless men have the freedom to force themselves on women, often with alcohol involved, there is no marriage. Quite offensive.
