That would also explain why he loves to claim feminism as one of the Four Horsemen Of The 60's Apocalypse--nothing like a wife who can "buy and sell" you to make an insecure man a passive-aggressive scumbag in print.deeringnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-1270367618452269302010-03-31T22:05:17.226-05:002010-03-31T22:05:17.226-05:00You missed something, drifty -- married men are ge...You missed something, drifty -- married <b>men</b> are generally happier than other people; single <b>women</b> are happier than married women.

Jesus, if corporate messaging had been this sophisticated in the thirties, we could have learned of the happiness of sharing a potato boiled over a flaming can of Sterno in an alley with our fellow hobos.
