So...

...some women in Spain want to join in the annual Running Of The Morons? So, let them.

My dad's from Spain, and our family has always regarded that event as idiotic. A bunch of foolhardy guys wanting to show off how ballsy they are, whooppee! (A humorous aside - did you know that the word ballsy translates literally into Spanish as "stupid"? That's right. "Having balls" in Spain is definitely not a compliment.)

Even though I'm a lifelong feminist, there are some occasions when I can't imagine why women with perfectly functioning brains would want to join men in some of the silly crap they dream up. Whatever.

@Chuchundra

Actually, the punch line to that joke is:

One. And it's not funny!

See, without the number, it isn't an answer to the question.

Interesting interview

Mrs. Edwards impresses me as a dignified, intelligent woman, clearly a great asset to her husband's campaign. She especially impressed me in her confrontation with Coulter - seeing that creature squirm while actually being confronted by one of the targets of her hateful venom was quite rich, believe me.

Back in '04, I was all gung-ho to get Hillary on the campaign trail, but since then I've changed my mind. I simply don't trust her. Nothing she says convinces me, possibly because the things she's actually done while being a senator have turned out, almost to a one, to be things I disagree with. Edwards, on the other hand, does give me the impression that he'll take the reins and do things that the other Democratic candidates are too scared to even mention doing. I'm not going to vote for a woman just because, neither will I vote against a man just because a woman's running. Edwards has my vote because quite simply, I trust the guy, more than I trust any other candidate with an actual chance to win.
