So you believe that line of crud?? I know you can catch a cold from getting cold in cold weather.
Cold enough for you?
Yowzah! That even really brought out the judges on FR.
What triggered my initial response was an item in one of those Sunday mags, Parade, or something a few weeks ago, where exactly the very question had been posed by a reader to the guy who plays a doctor in print on Sundays. No, you can't catch a cold being cold in cold weather, said the good doc, but, contradicting himself immediately, he admitted that being cold in cold weather helps (not the word he used) the little tiny, invisible cold viruses to make you catch a cold. Go figure.
Thanks again. This stuff is pretty much Captain Obvious material, but for some reason some find it controversial. The hypocrisy part could prove useful at a later date.
For what it's worth, I've never seen a stripper. I don't say that because I'm holier than thou. It just doesn't strike me as something I would want to do.
Although Ann doesn't say it, I had been thinking earlier about a remark someone made on another thread about the Duke business--that our justice system is broken and does this sort of thing often. So, how would you avoid having it happen to you? How do you avoid having a DA indict you?
The big mistake these boys made was to invite a black stripper to visit them. That's mixing porn with race, a dangerous mixture. No doubt they thought they were being very broadminded and nonjudgmental and all that. But the racial angle was the basic ingredient that turned this whole affair into political dynamite.
It could have happened with a white stripper, I suppose, but this outcome would have been less likely. Ann can't say that, because it might sound racist, and her enemies would certainly jump all over it. But I think it's undeniable.
As long as people are making up theories, here's mine:
I think the boy may have said something "kinky" in the heat of sex. Something that's offensive in any other context than hot, inter-racial action. Only she didn't take it that way.
Combined with the fact that her own college has a two-bit name, she is stripping/getting boned for and by a younger guy who had his dad pay for school, while she is paying her own way and raising a baby... Age 27 is a bit delayed for all of that (especially for women) in contrast to the boy who is going to be 25 and maybe own a Corvette by then.
I believe all of these factors suddenly came to light for her that night, and she just couldn't take it.
Except that, I'm willing to bet big coin, there was no sex, of any kind.
Being cold in cold weather weakens your immune system so much, it's unable to viruses. So, yes, not wearing your coat in cold weather will allow you to get sick more easily.
"...it's unable to fight viruses."

What are you talking about?
I'm so lucky to hear her voice in my head when I read her columns ... and to think I have BM(big media) to thank for that because they keep putting her live on the air! I don't think I could get too much 'annitizing' but I'd like to try the limits.

I'd say the real victims are the poor schmucks who will be on the jury and have to interrupt their lives to sort out the testimony of these lowlifes.
And I don't think that steering clear of strippers should be characterized as "emasculating yourself". It's mostly losers who hang out in strip clubs.
Thanx RD, I needed that! Wasn't long enough for my taste but it helped. I would really love to get Christopher Hitchens and Ann Coulter on my porch over a few beers in a summer evening, to talk politics and world affairs ... not both at the same time mind you, I would like to get a word in edgewise.
:o)
This woman has a beautiful mind. If I were 25 years younger I would stalk her for her mind alone.
Beauty, brains and beastly to liberals, all in one package.
Easy. These are 3 of the 10 commandments. But apparantly they aren't taught in a lot of households these days.
