  I have daughters...and no sons

  ...and I have been married for over a quarter of a century--to the same woman.

  I desperately hope that all that the USA promises is available to all women, including my daughters. I believe our country has made tremendous progress in gender-related areas, and yet I believe we can do more.

  I have never cheated on my wife--I nearly always vote Democratic...and believe that our current president is the worst president in my lifetime.

  So I think I'm rather progressive...for a guy.

  I used to be a Salon subscriber; I am no more...and Joan Walsh's article 'The Other 18 Million' reinforces my decision not to contribute to Salon (in terms of a subscription fee).

  In all seriousness, I wonder if Joan is menopausal. I also wonder if a primary reason that she has her position is because of her gender. She simply is not very bright. She is not very good. She is not deserving of her position at Salon, in terms of ability and output.

  Her article is symptomatic of something...I'm not sure what...but her perspective is so twisted...I think she is in over her head and she knows it.

  Not surprisingly, she seems off-key when she writes about sports, too. And yet she is so confident of her own perspective, sports-wise and politics-wise. Wow. Wow. Wow.

  Finally, her appearances on MSNBC...my God.

  Whatever benefit of doubt I may have had for Joan...when she does her TV stuff I literally cringe for her. And I realize how wrong she is when I recall what she wrote/thinks about Chris Matthews. My goodness, Matthews absolutely PERSONIFIES the terms 'Reagan Democrat'. And Joan refuses, or is unable...to see that her perspective, her views, her politics...and the politics of her brethren...pushed Matthews and the rest of the 'middle 20%' of the American electorate, the electorate that basically decides national elections...Joan Walsh and her ilk brought this country all those Republican presidents the past 28 years.

  I'm serious. I don't think she gets it. And I don't think she is intelligent enough to understand what I'm saying. In that way she is kind of like Clarence Thomas--a similarly challenged individual.

  Clarence Thomas doesn't understand what people think about him and his views...and he doesn't understand why people hold those views.

  Joan Walsh, meet Clarence Thomas!
