Oops. And yet e-mail is in there! Wow.

That's because ninth grade wasn't that long ago.

Glenn Beck begins Vermont Teddy Bear ad by trashing Mother's Day.

WTF? That's just . . . weird.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay Allyson!!

This seems like it might be an interesting read. [link]

The paradox is this: Cultural conservatives revel in condemning the loose moral values and louche lifestyles of "San Francisco liberals." But if you want to find two-parent families with stable marriages and coddled kids, your best bet is to bypass Sarah Palin country and go to Nancy Pelosi territory: the liberal, bicoastal, predominantly Democratic places that cultural conservatives love to hate.

...

Naomi Cahn and June Carbone -- family law professors at George Washington University and the University of Missouri (Kansas City), respectively -- suggest that the apparent paradox is no paradox at all. Rather, it is the natural consequence of a cultural divide that has opened wide over the past few decades and shows no sign of closing. To define the divide in a sentence: In red America, families form adults; in blue America, adults form families.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray, Allyson!!!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hee. Thanks. I'm so grateful that I'll be able to hold it in my hand. And JZ will be my editor, so I can't trash talk my editor here. heh.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Congrats, Allyson

Interesting thesis, Hil. It makes sense to me on first reflection.

The paradox is this . . .

I would think that blue state populations just marry later, so there is less change to upset the marriage.
