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.
I think I shall have salmon for lunch, at The Olive Mountain (that Middle Eastern place in Evanston that Teppy liked).
Mmmmmm, Olive Mountain. They may possibly have the world's best hummus.
From the Surveys That Never Needed To Be Taken file:
Would you be interested in coming back to work on your time off to attend a staff talent show? Y/N
Note lack of a "Bwah!!" option.
They may possibly have the world's best hummus.
Yeah, it's the best I've ever had....
Oh, I forgot to impart this bit of good news: Last Friday, a clown gave me a stress ball.
The clown was working for a bank. Maybe that's the solution to the banking crisis - an army of bank clowns, spreading bright orange stress balls all across the country, like wacky Johnny Appleseeds....
