You probably know that I love me a bargain. Some times, I just can’t resist. Cheap stuff. Buy one get one for 50% off! Two for the price of one! Seventy-two rolls of Charmin!
So when I heard that former Senator Jim DeMint (R-Shouldda Never Let Him Into Guv-ment-SC) talking about free ultrasounds on the TeeVee, well, I decided right then and there that a bargain is a bargain.
I want me an ultrasound. A vaginal ultrasound.
The fact that I believe in keeping government out of my lady-parts should not get in the way of me getting free stuff.
The fact that I am not pregnant should not stand in the way of me getting free stuff.
The fact that I am post-menopausal should not stand in the way of me getting free stuff.
When something is free, well then I want one. Because it’s a bargain, right? For everybody. Especially those folks who want to look in my vagina. I imagine there is quite a line.
What’s everybody complaining about?
Oh. Maybe that.
Unfortunately I can’t concentrate on Maddow’s words because she’s just that hot. she could give me a vaginal ultrasound any day. oh dear I did not just type that.

I’m beginning to think that men really have vaginal envy. Freud was all wrong. All along it was the men with the psychoses because they wanted to have lady parts and never could, so they have to create legislation instead that gives them power over that which they can’t have themselves. Surely there are enough mental health professionals for these guys…They need psychiatrist couches, not seats in government. 😉

After holding water for a couple hours to have an ultrasound, it was such a relief to be told I could urinate because they needed to do a vaginal ultrasound to diagnose a female problem.

I love how barely controlled Rachel Maddow was in this discussion. I’ve actually had a vaginal ultrasound. It wasn’t free. I wasn’t pregnant. And I wasn’t excited about having it. So I figure if you’re in a situation where you’re not excited about being pregnant (say, after enduring some kind of sexual crime), you’d be totally stoked about having an ultrasonic wand inserted. Oh, wait – I just remembered. They let *me* insert it. Then they manipulated it after that. That made it much better.

I’ve had to have them too — when I’d been misdiagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian cancer and told to get my things in order. Mine wasn’t free either. I hope you got good news from yours.

I didn’t get any news from mine. Couldn’t see anything definitive. So it was all for naught. Fortunately the situation cleared on its own. Oh, the joys of womanhood. I’m glad you were MIS-diagnosed! Just for that- knock your things all out of order.

I’m glad I was mis-diagnosed too. But the experience was truly horrible. I should write about it. The doctor should have her tongue cut out, she was that bad.

Funny. Makes me wonder (speaking on behalf of the fraternity) if we (as men) would be so compelled to dictate the use of probes if we knew the same would be required of us anytime one of us guys went looking for a prescription for Cialis, Viagra or any other ‘performance enhancing’ pill.

You are right, Dan. Perhaps each Rx of an ED drug must come with a prostate exam and each patient must also demonstrate competent use of a condom. The up-side is I think they could get a couple of new bathtubs for their efforts!
