Sure! Why not!?

I'm not sure "fault" is the right word here, but yeah, why wouldn't it be?

Where I take issue is the idea that women having JOBS that require EDUCATION is causing society to suddenly implode in a fiery ball of gender issues.

I'm cold and my head hurts. Neither or which are my fault.

I'm cold and my wrist hurts. That last one might be my fault though.

I'm glad this is all coming to fruition during the Cheney/Bush Administration which should make it that much harder to claim it wasn't their policies that brought things to this point.

My ultraconservative habitual spammer of a cousin sent me an email forward claiming that the economic crisis was created by the Ds in Congress. The argument is (seriously) that when the Rs were in charge in both houses, the economy was fine, but the Ds have ruined it by trying to (seriously) overregulate Wall Street. I (again) asked her to stop sending me her spam from wishfulthinkingland and took the time to explain how deregulation works, who was responsible for it, and why most economists think that the Bush Administration's economic policies have been unsound since day one. Not that she read my reply.

The collapse of the family is being driven by a 'Bridget Jones generation' of well-educated young women who cannot find a suitable match, a senior Conservative claimed yesterday.

Shadow universities secretary David Willetts said that, for the first time, more women than men were gaining degrees - meaning many struggled to find a partner with an academic background and career prospects like their own.

So there are too many smart women who cannot find mates? In theory this would eventually be a self-correcting problem. In the short term I suppose there are three solutions, make fewer smart, ambitious women, make more smart, ambitious men, or more gay women.

How do you have fewer smart, less ambitious, women? I dunno, for sure. Distribute free easy bake ovens? Outlaw doctor Barbie dolls? Not really getting any good ideas there.

More smart men. Eliminate Spike TV, easy.

More gay women. Maybe subsidize sales of Subarus and Volvos? Maybe, but that might just lead to more Australian immigrants and liberals.

I wish warmth and lack of hurtness upon the cold and hurt of our number.

For some reason, in the back of my head I'm hearing Bill Murray saying, "Cats and Dogs! Living Together!"

The argument is (seriously) that when the Rs were in charge in both houses, the economy was fine, but the Ds have ruined it by trying to (seriously) overregulate Wall Street.

Huh...I can't see how you can twist the logic to get there. I can see pinning it on Clinton. But overregulation by the current congress? Crazy.

Lean Cuisine for lunch = feh.

Made a bit more palatable however, by the fact that I am enjoying one square of Ghirardelli Extreme Dark w/ a touch of vanilla.

I sort of want to go out and get something for lunch to see if my speedometer is working ok. I figure this isn't a good reason.
