Whatever You Do, Just Don’t Get Married.

I was really struck by this article on Fox News. Before Continuing, read the article.

Now, think for a bit about Hugh Hefner’s numerous relationships, often multiple at a time. Think about the environment his children are growing up in. Of course he’s only legally married to one of these woman, Kimberly Conrad.

Now, think about FLDS families for a minute. They’re certainly far from perfect.

Which environment do you believe is healthier? For the women? The children? Society?

It’s rather fascinating to me how differently our government, society, and the news media treat these two. Sometime, compare how Fox News treats Hugh Hefner and Playboy versus the FLDS. What do you think?

It's 46 degrees warmer, but still cold!

This morning when I went out to get the paper and restock firewood it was 46 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. But today's 19º F was still pretty cold.

Cold is also how I feel about bailouts. Chrysler is getting another $1.5b from our Treasury Dept (IE, you and me) to be used, according to Chrysler and with the Treasury Dept's blessing, specifically to provide 0 interest loans to people with poor credit to purchase Chrysler cars. Wasn't providing credit to people with poor credit one of the things that got us in to this mess?
