Boom Goes The Irony

In Washington DC (and just about every place else in America), it is 100% legal to meet a handsome 16-year-old Congressional page and get jiggy with him, whether you yourself are male or female, as long as you too are over the age of 16.

However, if you write a naughty e-mail to that same 16-year-old Congressional page, you could... according to the "Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006"... go to jail.

This is a lovely bill which was thoughtfully co-sponsored by the congressman who will be going to jail for writing naugy e-mails to a 16-year-old Congressional page.

Hoist on his own petard, ain't he?

I swear: My sense of moral equilibrium and karmic adequation smokes this like it's crack.
