Spinning Spitzer
I have not and will not comment on the Eliot Spitzer story, most likely. However, of all that I’ve heard Bill Maher has the best take on the “why” of it all.

We’re on a bit of a family vacation this week. So posting may be sparse, though I do have one in the works.
I was wondering why my face hurts and why I have a splitting headache. Then I realized, I’ve been clenching my teeth all day. Probably because of the morning I’ve had, and because Pepco’s outage map indicates that my journey home will longer due to signal outages, and when I get home it will be hot, dark, and without much to do.
Just keeps getting stranger and stranger. “Triple Murder Suicide Plot”?
Ooops. So much for teaching kids to “always tell the truth.” Apparently, toddlers who tell lies make for more successful adults. I’m not sure if that says something important about child development, or something sad about the kind of society we live in.
I’m chaperoning the first grade field trip to the national zoo this morning. Wish me luck!

Bravo. Good for you.
Hmmm, I dunno about that. (And I’m saying that as a fan of Bill Maher.) Mostly because he starts right out by saying that married people are desperate for sex, but actual studies show that married couples have sex more consistently and frequently than single people do! And in the comments section a bunch of dudes are blaming Spitzer’s wife/their own wives for being frigid. Ugh. Again, actual studies show that among heterosexual married couples, the man is more likely to decline sex than the woman.
I’m all for the “he just wanted to have sex!” explanation, but the way that Maher frames it – and the way that his commenters are reacting to it – makes me very squeamish.
