Saw this article over at Amy Ridenhour's site. I really need to stop by there more often. Anyway, she links to two posts at Who Moved My Truth. I'm always interested when a woman takes issue with the shabby way that men are treated these days. Excerpt:

Sooooo, how's it feel, ladies? Like the shoe on the other foot? Or is it a little tight?

The offensive drivel I posted above was originally written about men. Every time you see a female reference, insert the appropriate male reference, and you will have the original saying (except with the pints of ice cream - that was actually beer). Have you ever stopped to think about how many negative things you hear about men, whether on TV, the radio, or in public? How often do you see the bumbling husband in TV sitcoms? Ever notice how negative commercials are towards men? Listen the next time you hear commercials on the radio or see them on TV. How often do the men get painted as idiots, while a woman comes in a makes the decision since he obviously is incompetent. How about this: ever been to a dinner party, where the hosts are a couple who have been together long enough for the glow to wear off, and every time the guy makes a point, the woman cuts him off? Or insists that he is wrong, it was actually this way, and she proceeds to contradict him.

Talking to men recently has been a learning experience. I know of several who are either unhappily married or going through a divorce. The men were willing, even desperately wanted, to go through counseling, but their wives refused. After all, he does not understand her, he never listens, if he would just be this way or that way, all the problems would be fixed. Could it be that women can not admit when they are wrong or need to change?

Kevin posts a link to this post wherein some campaign timebombs for John Kerry are ticking merrily away.

Update: John Kerry flipped off a Vietnam vet on Memorial Day? I think Ted Sampley was a little out of line, but just how big of an asshat do you have to be extend your middle finger to a Vietnam veteran while standing in fron the Vietnam Memorial Wall? I guess John Kerry decided that the asshat wasn't snug enough; he's decided to start wearing the ass-turtleneck. If he's not careful, his head will push so far in that it comes out of his own mouth, creating a living, breathing Klein bottle. Someone with Photoshop might be able to work up a Kerry Klein bottle. It'd make a great t-shirt.

Pejman links to a story that I heard Glenn Beck discussing this morning: "post traumatic slave syndrome." And no, I'm not making it up.
