Do you know what Deep Throat is?

At the DeVry Evangelical Institute where I got my Registered Divinity Assistant degree, we'd heard about a Judas, a Benedict Arnold, a Newt Gingrich who personally set out to topple the democratically elected government of Richard Nixon.

For some reason, he was called "Deep Throat". I thought the name was kind of funny but never gave it much mind.

Today, Trisha, my co-intern, told me the origins of Deep Throat.

Did you know it was a movie in which a woman named Linda Lovelace did unspeakable things with men's things?

It's no wonder that pornography is running rampant in America if a so-called "American hero" named himself after the dirtiest sex act anyone can think of.

American heroes are people who say things like "Give me liberty or give me death", "I regret I have but one life to give to my country", and "Mission accomplished".

Not, "My, that's a big one."

I'm not saying that Mr. Mark Felt alone is responsible for the scourge of pornography that weighs so heavy on America's shoulders. But he did make it acceptable for Democrats to say Deep Throat out loud in mixed company without receiving scorn.

And that is unforgivable.
