PMS vs. PPSM

After years of suffering at the mics of comedians worldwide, PMS can finally get even.  Oh, yes.  Women who expressed displeasure in various ways have been accused of being “PMS”, and therefore that weakened them somehow.  Well, today PMS has its revenge.

Now PMS can stride up to the microphones in comedy clubs and stream on about “PPSM” and everyone-- everyone—will laugh in agreement.  We have finally identified the syndrome now known as “Politically Powerful Stupid Men”. 

I won't be back.

It has been recognized and whispered about since the early 1990s, when the President of the United States stated with firm conviction, “I did not have sex with that woman!”  Firm jaw, unblinkingly staring into the camera, the PPSM sufferer lied boldfaced to millions of Americans.

Other PPSM afflicted men have had their day in the spotlight, and now we have the current PPSM Congressman Weiner.  As a nation, we have witnessed his struggles to come to terms with this affliction:

What WAS he thinking?

Anger—then they moved onto being peeved that this confrontation won’t stop.

Bargaining—they admitted to a portion of their syndrome, but insist that it doesn’t prevent them from being effective in politics.

Stand by your man...

Acceptance—the hardest one of all was finally coming out and accepting their responsibility in their indiscretion.

Accountability—they ultimately have to take the bitter consequences of their PPSM, and maybe develop a conscience about it all.  Or they sneak off to the private sector where they can continue to do the same despicable things, but not on tax-payer money or time.

It was just a little vacation.

It was only a little money.

PMS is currently touring through coffee shops everywhere, and discussing the PPSM problem with other PMS participants.

Note: If you are unfamiliar with PMS and its definition, please look it up, or discuss this with a female of your acquaintance.
