It's Valentine's Day, everybody -- otherwise known as "the saddest day atNational Review Online." But NRO editor Kathryn Jean Lopez isn't one to hide behind her sadness and resignation and Jonah Goldberg screensaver (when he was young and kind of cute).
Oh man, I assumed "stuffing your turkey with 30 white castle hamburgers," was just wingnut euphemism for making sexytime. Now I find out it was literal, and yet even with that potent of a mating call, she's still alone? Poor thing.
I know it pains Ms Lopez and traditionalists, but marriage is fading because families are <i>evolving</i>, just like <strike>Satan</strike> Darwin predicted.
Conservatives like to talk about families as the foundation of society. They&#039;re right, but not because one-man-one-woman is a magic formula. They&#039;re right because families deal with every problem America faces -- economic, social, political, psychological. Some families fail, but others succeed and new, stronger families form.
Instead of focusing on the number of marriage certificates and divorce decrees, they may want to look at how long children are in two parent homes, or how to help elder American stay together as mutual support can be life-preserving.
I vaguely remember hearing the biography of some martyred early Christian saint who was afflicted with beauty, and to keep from attracting the attention of men, she put hooks into her flesh and hung weights on them. That&#039;s some powerful Catholic feminism that K-Lo ought to include in her speech.
As your avatar is a dog, you&#039;re going to have to overcome the Santorum-led anti-canine-marriage forces. Or become a Repubican which makes everything acceptable.
No blasting intended, WW. I just share your schoolmarmish persnickityness.

I believe it is pictured in the second photo. Roombaphram.
Other things we can blame capitalism for: -smut on TV -prostitution -porn -drugs
So, I guess my point is &quot;Yay, capitalism!&quot;

Or they could rail against gay marriage.

K-Lo talking about marriage if like Cheney talking about being loved.
From the top picture: Where are they now?
Forget that...<i>Who</i> are they?
Ms Lopez, Someday your prince will come, please don&rsquo;t eat him this time. MG

and the roomba is pretty classy too.
Imagine what the marriage rate would be <i>without</i> the heroic contributions of Msrs. Limbaugh and Gingrich.

<i>Media</i> plural. <i>Kudos</i> singular.
