I'm blogging in the family room at my parents' house. We're watching a 1970s era Abba concert on television. Life is good. Gimme gimme.

National Putz
Oh, would this newspaper just roll over and die already? It's like watching a spider croak after you spray Raid on it.
I've been reduced to reading it on my lunch break because somebody else has been getting to the Globe and Mail before me, and I skim through the Toronto Star online in the morning.
Thing is, there isn't much to read. The front page is like, 6 pages long. Last week, they published an editorial defending Neil French, the formerly "legendary adman" who is now merely legendary for being a complete idiot. I mean, fine, publish opinion pieces from writers on both sides - but an editorial?
Yes, this is the National Post 's definitive opinion on women in the corporate world:
For better or worse (and we argue that it is for the better), women tend to have the perspective to recognize the enduring importance of family and community. Men, by contrast, have a greater tendency to become single-mindedly focused on advancing themselves in corporate hierarchies. In most organizations, therefore, men tend to work longer hours, and make more sacrifices, for their employers[...]Of course, there are women out there living just this sort of unappealing life [...] But many such women understandandably become emotionally burnt out -- which explains why, at the highest ranks of the corporate world, a disproportionate number of women are childless. The idea that the dearth of female executives is the result of some sort of sexist "glass ceiling" is mostly a myth: The gender imbalance in the corner office is caused primarily by self-selection, not discrimination.
Oh, I get it: it's my biology, and not institutionalized sexism, that will hold me back from the corner office. See, I'm a woman, and according to the National Post, the fact that I have ovaries means that I have a special perspective on the "enduring importance of family and community". Good thing that I do, because somebody's going to have to keep those home fires burning while hubby works tirelessly to "advance himself through corporate hierarchies" and bring home the wildebeest. The corporate world is absolutely A-OK the way it is - it's just that girls who want to have kids and careers don't belong there. If we try, we'll burn ourselves out. But we shouldn't attempt to change this. Oh no. We should just Accept that this is the Way Things Are.
Excuse me while I barf.
I had a good chuckle today, though, while reading the Mergers & Acquisitions page - you know, the one that goes on and on in ooey gooey detail about the non-society weddings of people who aspire to be Society. Today's story was about a young couple who dated for *12* years (something I can't understand, but anyway). So the guy finally gets around to asking the girl (because the guy ALWAYS asks the girl, doncha know). Only when he brings her to the spot where they first met so he can pop the question, he can't talk because he's "balling his eyes out".
Surely not before the wedding!
I think they meant "bawling". It was unintentionally hilarious. Maybe you had to be there.

Here's Jack on his first birthday, practicing hanging off the fridge door. You know, so that he will have mastered the art by the time he's thirteen.

No nukes is good nukes
According to AP:
Most Americans surveyed in a poll say they do not think any country, including the United States, should have nuclear weapons.
The AP/Ipsos poll results show that
opposition to proliferation is high, with two-thirds (66%) reporting that no country should be allowed to have to have nuclear weapons. Concern over the nuclear issue is also evident in Americans' fears about possible future nuclear attacks. Majorities believe that in the next five years a terrorist attack using nuclear weapons is likely (53% total likely) and also state it is likely that one country will attack another country with nuclear weapons within the next five years (52%).

Moralists at the pharmacy
The New York Times:
Scattered reports suggest that a growing number of pharmacists around the country are refusing to fill prescriptions for contraceptives or morning-after birth control pills because of moral or religious objections. Although the refusals are cast as important matters of conscience for self-described "pro-life" pharmacists, they have the pernicious effect of delaying, and sometimes even denying, a woman's access to medications that may be urgently needed. This is an intolerable abuse of power by pharmacists who have no business forcing their own moral or ethical views onto customers who may not share them. Any pharmacist who cannot dispense medicines lawfully prescribed by a doctor should find another line of work.
Yes. That's right. The pharmacist's role is not to make moral judgments on behalf of her customers. If she believes she'll be made the agent of injustice by continuing in her job as a pharmacist, she is under no obligation to keep doing it.
UPDATE: Don Herzog's thoughts on the matter.
