Opening Arguments

Talk dirty to me

Well, hooray for Notre Dame for letting the play "The Vagina Monologues" be put on there, despite the fact that it's not exactly in tune with the school's Catholic essence:

“To be a university means that we engage in diversity of viewpoints that are vigorously debated, some of which will challenge Catholic understanding,” the Rev. John I. Jenkins said. “I don't think we should be afraid of that. That's what it is to be a university.”

I'm not sure how vigorous the debate will be, though. I saw the play when it was here, and it was just plain awful and embarrassingly silly, an attempt by women to get men to take them seriously with a series of inane sketches that displayed a juvenile fascination with the vulgar words for body parts.
