No. I think I’ll just play this one serious. I think you are making too big a deal out of his comments. The point he is making is that it isn’t simply an issue of whether or not a female could do the job equally as well as a man, because that’s silly, of course they can. He’s saying that it’s a more complicated issue than that and every aspect needs to be considered first. We can’t just make major changes like this without considering all of the different impacts they might have.

Mixed gender forces on the frontlines of combat zone is not a tested social science; who knows how many new challenges this will introduce, and are we prepared to face them or fund them? I’ve spent a great part of my life working on and studying team dynamics and it’s true that as soon as you start mixing genders the level of internal friction goes up, emotions are heightened, and people behave differently. That’s not an attack on women or men, it’s just a statement of the nature of the human animal.

I’m not a Santorum follower. This is possibly only the third time I’ve seen him talk, but I don’t think he’s making a huge fool of himself for being cautious and trying to look beyond the retoric of politically correct “What Should We Do???” questions which are the playing-field of our absolute extreme political ball game.

These smooth groves of which you rave. I started the video here in my office not realizing the sound on my computer had been turned up to volume level 11. So, I started blasting these smooth grooves across the whole building, and I’m positive the accountants on the otherside of the wall probably think I was watching porn.

I’m glad no one came and asked me about it, because attempting to clear things up by explaining it was just a video about a guy expressing how much he loves his little girl would have gotten me escorted out of the building in handcuffs.

OH! Ohohohoh! Can Hugh maybe get back with Steven Fry now! And maybe make some more Jeeves and Wooster shows! Or some Fry and Laurie episodes?!

I’m sure House was a great show though, so I’m trying not to let my excitement show since I know there might be some sad people around. It’s just. … House was always kindof their Yoko Ono in my mind.

Gary Busey is the 1%. I mean… like the bottom 1%.

Interesting. I spent some time in my youth working for the Mexican police force dealing with escaped papermache donkeys. And the way they handle these types of situations is to charge at the animal blindfolding and beat it with sticks until it breaks open to reveal piles of candy.
