Want the benefits of outdoor walking without, you know, actually having to put your shoes on the ground? Then this brilliantly-conceived contraption is for you.
Man, why didn’t I think of that!

A new way of paying tribute to American veterans.

We all have our place:

But there�s a larger issue here. I cringe every time I hear the we-must-appoint-a-woman mantra or the-fairer-sex-will-save-the-day schtick, but it�s not just blind chauvinism. Call it informed chauvinism. You see, the governing principle here is that finding a traditional woman in the political arena is a little like finding a NOW member in a full-length burka.
Think about it: generally speaking, where do you find good, conservative, traditional women? The answer is in the home, not the House. Traditional women are usually devoted to traditional endeavors, such as raising their children and tending to hearth and home. And when they are forced by necessity into the workaday world, they�re usually doing merely what is required to put three squares on the table. They�re not seeking to exalt themselves through careerism.

I’m glad to see we’ve all caught up with the 21st century here.

Wonderful:

It’s an only in New York story. A woman was given a ticket for sitting on a park bench because she doesn’t have children.
The Rivington Playground on Manhattan’s East Side has a small sign at the entrance that says adults are prohibited unless they are accompanied by a child.
Forty-seven-year-old Sandra Catena says she didn’t see the sign when she sat down to wait for an arts festival to start. Two New York City police officers asked her if she was with a child. When she said no, they gave her a ticket that could bring a one thousand dollar fine and 90 days in jail.

Perhaps I’m not sensitive enough about these issues since I don’t have kids, but the whole notion of banning childless adults from entering a playground seems over the top to me.

Alas. It does make it a little harder to push for the confirmation of a nominee who you can’t endorse.
UPDATE: Many people have been generally befuddled on their comments regarding Miers, due to her lack of a “paper trail”–i.e., she hasn’t written any articles entitled “I’m Pro Choice,” or “I Oppose the Right to Abortion.” So they are forced to speculate. This is the extent to which they are now reaching.
