What would Munch know about pleasing his exes?
The opposite of...(Scary, isn't it, my absorption into Munchkinland...I'm a cautionary tale in dark glasses.)
But a lot of times cops get the tip because an ex-gf calls, mostly because the idiot either:
1. Gets really drunk and brags.
2. Break-up turns ugly...she tells him off and he gets all "You think that matters to me? I did xyz and nobody ever knew."
I thought white-collar guys were smarter, but crime makes you stupid.ETA: And if I keep posting like that nobody will invite me to any showers...EVER.
I should also note that this phenomenon was a problem for African Americans for years. When the issue became increasingly a problem for the White population, that's when far more people were taking notice.
Which means that, on average, college-educated women and high-school-educated men will have a harder time finding partners as long as educators keep ignoring the gender gap that starts long before college. Advocates for women have been so effective politically that high schools and colleges are still focusing on supposed discrimination against women: the shortage of women in science classes and on sports teams rather than the shortage of men, period. You could think of this as a victory for women's rights, but many of the victors will end up celebrating alone.

also, what le nubian said.
The connections Tierney makes seem quite specious.

The human population is what--somewhere between 90 and 95% heterosexual? I have a sneaking suspicion that, statistical blips aside, het men and het women will keep finding each other.
Now that I'm getting a Master's degree, I have to dismiss like 88% of the population out of hand, and that's before we've even talked politics or salary!
It's ruff, mang.
(Wasn't that a movie with Glenn Close? She played an evil newspaper head, and I think Tom Hanks was the reporter with strong morals who challenged her? And I think she dies in the end?)
You might be thinking of The Paper. With Michael Keaton, not Hanks. I don't remember Close dying; I thought it was more a dramedy and that sounds kinda dark. I do remember that in the end Keaton heroically gets a scoop by committing an outrageous violation of journalistic ethics. Peculiar movie.

For some reason, I chose to read this as a suggested response to this

That's the one!
I saw it on VHS years ago, so my memory of it's more than a little fuzzy.
Well, Jesse, it's all your fault for pursuing the book-larnin'. And for being inherently money-grubbing.
