A bipartisan attempt this year to end child marriage in Missouri failed to make it out of Missouri's state legislature again this year. So in Moe, at the Moe, a parent can consent to their teenage child marrying an adult, which is not okay, but a parent... can't consent or even turn a blind eye to their teenage child having sex with an adult. Also not okay. Make it make sense, Missouri.
Make it make sense. All right, another don't. You probably don't want to go see, if you're not me, the new production of Sancta, currently playing at the Stuttgart State Opera House, directed by Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger. It

Features like all of Holsinger's productions, an all-female cast, and in this case, a live piercing on stage, unsimulated sexual intercourse, also known as just sexual intercourse, aka actual fucking, naked nuns on roller skates, and tons of blood, fake and real.

Mercifully, unlike some other shows directed by Holtzinger, her production of Sancta, an opera about a horny nun who asks to be walled up in her convent for her sins, this production of Sancta doesn't feature as previous productions directed by Holtzinger did, quote, fresh excrement, close quote.

The show, which premiered in Austria earlier this year, has been accused of insulting the Catholic Church and Catholic sensibilities.

But as Holtsinger, who won't cast dancers that can't urinate on cue, as she told The Guardian, her production of Sancta is, quote, "...an exploration of the kinship between Catholics and BDSM practitioners, two groups that, again, quote, share a belief that joy and pain are intimately connected and those who suffer will find redemption."

I am not going to be in Stuttgart during the run of Sancta at the Opera House, but if I were, it would be a do for me. If anyone out there listening saw the now sold-out production in Stuttgart of Sancta, please give us a call and let us know what you thought. And finally, the biggest don't of the week for young straight men out there. Don't take dating advice from Stephen Miller.

Miller is Donald Trump's most odious advisor, which when you look at the people who surround Trump is really saying something. Miller was the architect of Trump's family separation policy, a stain on our country right up there with Japanese internment camps.

Well, let me give advice to any young man that's out there. I'm married now. I have children, but I wasn't married that long ago. I was single. I was in the market. If you're a young man, it's very important in election season who's looking to impress ladies, to be the alpha, to be attractive. The best thing you can do is to wear your Trump support on your sleeve. Show that you are a real man.
