any pre-menopausal

And menopausal women have all those hormonal troubles.

And post-menopausal women are always mourning their loss of the working uterus.

Much better to stick with men, whose penises never get them into trouble and who aren't meant to stay home with the family.

Abagail Adams is much on my mind these days, since I'm working my way through "Founding Mothers" during my lunch hours and I can't help but think she'd be kicking someone's (multiple someone's) ass right now.

Which is why I really liked Obama's statement.

Yes! It was exactly right.

Complete 180, Cute Wilfred the Labrador Puppy!

Seriously, blonde Labbies are SOOOOO cute. If I didn't already have the three babies, I'd so be on a blonde Lab in a heartbeat.

ION, kids these days! I just told my new minion she needed to work on being here at 9, and she said, "But I was here at 9:06!" Dude, is that 9? No it is not! I would rather have heard that she was sitting on a stalled train for 10 minutes, which I'm guessing was actually the case.

Which is why I really liked Obama's statement.

Plus it's absolutely consistent with his position in the primary vis-a-vis his family.

We just need to make sure they don't have a "wide stance" before we choose them. Oh, and I was going to say "Shouldn't that be REPUBLICAN men?", but I'd forgotten all male Democrats aren't real men, so it would have been redundant.

Heh.

Republicans Rush In

Gingrich's point about Palin being commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard has been echoed throughout the GOP. In fact, even Cindy McCain pointed out -- rightly enough -- that Alaska is across the Bering Strait from Russia and so Palin, by deduction, has been on the front lines of the Cold War . . . had it not ended in 1989.

Still, you have to admit that in all that time, especially since Palin became governor about two years ago, no Russian invasion force has come across the strait, maybe because she was in charge of the Guard, maybe because she herself is a hunter and an athlete. The record is unclear because no high-ranking Russian appeared on any of the weekend talk shows to say how they had considered an invasion of Alaska and then backed off when Sarah Palin became commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard. Who could blame them?

Huh. RNC drops Giuliani as keynote convention speaker.»

If you guys want a moebius scarf - I can link you to a pattern.

Well, it's Monday and even though I am now enjoying the comforts of air conditioning I'm still feeling sticky.

Also, my eye - which I accidentally poked with a doublepointed needle, is more painful than normal but not as painful as you'd think. I'm going to my eyedoctor tomorrow AM. (The earliest appt was this afternoon but this afternoon does not work for me.)

Well, it's Monday

No it's not! Woo hoo!!
