The rule announced by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation requiring them to cut off funding to any organization that is under investigation, which applies to,
out of the 2000 organizations they support, exactly one (Planned Parenthood) made me think of
Alice:
At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out 'Silence!' and read out from his book, 'Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court.'
Everybody looked at Alice.
'I'm not a mile high,' said Alice.
'You are,' said the King.
'Nearly two miles high,' added the Queen.
'Well, I shan't go, at any rate,' said Alice: 'besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now.'
'It's the oldest rule in the book,' said the King.
'Then it ought to be Number One,' said Alice.
The King turned pale, and shut his note-book hastily.
That's all I wanted to say, except for the admonition that you should not truck with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation (I always thought that was a stupidly formulated name, however worthy a person Susan G. Komen herself may have been) until they have displayed sincere contrition.
