Have you heard the latest study?  It shows that men who think it is a woman's job to stay home and taking care of the babies, the house and play June Cleaver make more money than other men.

Do I need to change my attitude?

The men with these beliefs....call them "old-fashioned" or "sexist"...actually earn nearly $12,000 a year more than men who view their female counterparts as equals.

There are a couple of problems with the study.  If you used the link, you can probably guess one of them.  (It is who did the study.)  The other problem is that you cannot change your attitude to get a raise.

Dammit.

This is interesting.   Maybe Kathleen Sebelius needs to be concerned over the "code words" used by members of her own party.

While these attitudes in this day are stupid and based on ignorance more than anything else, the fact that they exist among a group that has tried to put them on the other side is enlightening.

Now if EVERYONE could become enlightened.

Oh, and by the way, there are dozens of good reasons to vote AGAINST someone.  Bad ideas, questionable associations, breaking promises on key issues, etc.  Race is NOT a good reason.  Never has been.

The penny will get a face lift.  The Los Angeles Times asks a good question.  Why?

They might be on to a good idea.  Thoughts?  (Most of the ones you get for a penny....yeah, not even worth that.)

I usually do not talk about this, but why not.  I guess because I'd like to see a couple of them make it in this year.

For all of those who ever got Munson'd, you may like this.  If you are a Georgia Bulldogs fan, well then, this may be hard for you.

And one of his most famous calls occurred while I was on the sideline at Neyland Stadium.  I had to look up what a hobnail boot was.

Have a great Tuesday.
