This right here, what I’m about to tell you? This is the fundamental difference between me and Matt.
We do this thing, right? Only everybody else in the free world is doing it. We stumble. That is, we use the web service called StumbleUpon. If you’ve never tried it, give it a shot. That is, if you don’t mind becoming horribly addicted to something that it impedes your ability to support yourself, or, you know, function at all. Anyway, it has this feature that we always use. It allows you to “stumble” on a website and if you want to share it with someone you can just push a button and voila! The person you stumbled it to will get it the next time HE stumbles, along with any little note you might want to attach.
Very handy! Right? We just surf along and when we see something we want to share with one another, bam! It’s done. So nice, this interweb thing.
The point though is this: Matt “stumbled” me a website regarding the death of Bhutto. I knew about the assasination. In fact, we already talked about it when it happened. This is, perhaps, what led Matt to stumble me the link in the first place. Nonetheless, I get the stumble and his note says something about speaking ill of the dead, the crass vulgarity of the author, etc. He made a political, moral judgment based on what he read. My response to him? “There’s a misplaced comma in this article”
!! Seriously. That’s it in a nutshell.

A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
Ha! I was talking about StumbleUpon with my niece at Christmas. We were killing ourselves laughing about how much time you people waste on it, and then, uh, we realized we were, uh, oh hell, never mind….
Now if I could just find where I lost that comma. MM
I got your comma right here, bub. I’m definitely one of “those” people, yo.
