Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer

Unfunny Comic Strip of the Day
I don't find Domestic Abuse funny at all, thank you very much.

"Conservative" U of C alum of the Day
Women have been leaving their traditional roles as mother and wife in part due to the sexual revolution; but some conservatives argue that this deviation from what nature intended has had substantial negative impact on women. Amy Kass, a former University of Chicago professor of classics, wrote, “The happiness they [women] were promised — the happiness they dearly want — is somehow eluding them. … The politics of sexual liberation for women have devolved into a veritable nightmare.” In Ms. Kass’ version of the war between male desire and female virtue, both men and women are happier when the traditional model of gender relations is restored. Men make advances, and women resist with the “promise of yielding should the man prove his worth.”

Leon R. Kass, Amy Kass’ husband and former chairman of the President’s Council on Bioethics under President George W. Bush, revealed the truly revolutionary implications of the sexual liberation movement: “For the first time in human history, mature women by the tens of thousands live the entire decade of their twenties — their most fertile years — neither in the homes of their fathers nor in the homes of their husbands; unprotected, lonely, and out of sync with their inborn nature.”


Oh, Croesus! Have you seen Amy Kass lately?

(personal note: I'm not sure the above paragraphs are fair characterizations of the full scope of their statements, but I'm incredibly lazy.)

And the elderly menace continues its streak of "car"nage.
Eyewitnesses said Jeanne Severson-Maag lost control of her car at Thoreau Street and Byron Avenue, and crashed into several cars parked in a driveway.
