Er. Well, like the disapproval of sex education and free condoms -- where the rationale for them is "maybe they oughtn't have sex, but they're going to, so let's minimize the life-altering consequence," the argument against seems to be "they shouldn't have sex, end of story." Similarly, things like unemployment -- "Sometimes people end up in unfortunate positions and need help" versus "people should get another job." It sometimes seems (to me) as though many conservative policy-makers see any attempt to cope with a reality that doesn't fit best expectations as giving into that reality.
Not sure that makes sense. It's just something that's been percolating.
My wedding shoes, in silver
Oooh, pretty!
Happy Anniversary, Jessica and Jessica's DH!!!

That's brilliant. No, I mean it. I think that is exactly what is going on in many conservative policy-makers' heads.
Oh, and I missed wishing Jessica and DH a happy anniversary!!!
Rectifying immediately.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY PRETTY PEEPLES!!!!!!!!!
Oh, dear. I just got the new Pampered Chef catalog. Quick! Someone take it away before I spend about $500 on kitchen products that I have *nowhere* to put!
Dude. Seriously. Put it down and back away slowly. Weren't you going somewhere? Don't take it with you.
Nope. Not going anywhere anymore. Allergies are too sucky.
But you should see all the pretties! A roasting pan that wouldn't fit in our oven! A $69 bamboo cutting board! Kitchen porn!
For Christmas my brother got me a Pampered Chef spoonula that's fantastic. Also a 8 cup measuring bowl w/lid that you can bake a cake in. There was a recipe.
I use those all the time.
This reminds me that I need to get my chef's knife sharpened.
Welcome DW!!
Happy Anniversary Jessica and Fone Bone.
Oh, the marvels of the large batter bowl...the barbie cake, the over-the-hill cake that I spared Emily of, the football cake, the perfect pancake bowl...actually, it's just plain the perfect bowl. Ah...the wonders of fabulous kitchen products.
