Brainwashed, but be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Save the skinny tie as it eventually comes back in style. We need a book of rules…now were back to the bible again.

Even alternative lifestyles assume conservative roles, its all good until they turn on each other.

I been accused of being neurotically on the outside looking in, my mothers fault, always telling me to rise above…can you see me…why do I keep getting noise bleeds and it is so lonely up here.

Periods are free.

The part of Brown’s column that resonated for me was the absence of Sarah Palin to ever expose that, talk about it, in any meaningful way, though I have to confess, as I think about how she talked about everything over the last several weeks, since her selection on August 29, I have to say that, for me, she’s not really spoken about anything in what I’d consider to be a meaningful way, so the “mom” part of her image is probably just another casualty of her approach in general, not a specifically excluded topic.

And color me dense. I still don’t get Brown’s message.

B’shalom,

But 10,000 unread?
hmmmmmm, something wrong there!

I’m seeing this often, seeing what is an open area and then applying a personal ideal to that. That is setting everyone up for let down, unreal expectations.

That is because nothing is being addressed beyond generalities and with assumptions based in those generalities.

I do not think all men discount there own family to that of nothing more than subordinate roles. Our society has made the roles self defining and with that comes individual choices the roles can take what ever you and your family decide.

What can the first lady do to improve the lives of woman? That’s very general. I have to think it’s all related to your own choices, the spouse and the roles you assign to each other.

I think run an add on match.com and seek a subordinate male, to assume all the roles that are stereotypically assumed by woman. Its better to be direct, this is what I want when you want it, to assume that the first lady is going to help is infinitely abstract.

If you want equal pay then you also have to speak out, you have to say I want to be paid my worth. It’s odd to delegate that to an assumed higher authority, the first lady?

I subscribe to about 400 blogs/sites through Bloglines. I cleared out something like 10,000 or so unread items, a couple of days ago.
