mtb - day 18 (Photo credit: glemak)Nothing much to say, or at least that I feel up to saying
*by Ken*
The above news, in case you missed it, comes courtesy of *New Yorker*cartoon editor Bob Mankoff's weekly blogpost, "Nothing
to Say," news that Bob declares he was "particularly gratified about."
There is perhaps inspiration to be drawn from Bob's opening:
I have nothing at all to say this week. But that's pretty much the case
every week, and, since it hasn’t stopped me in the past, it's not going to
now.
Bob proceeds to propose "a simple 'News of the Week' feature" that consists
of a list of the days of the week, a stunt that I suspect at most one of us

Moderate Republicans? Has Anyone Spotted A Live One In Congress Since Sherry Boehlert?
No friends of Darrell Issa's, the American Association of Letter Carriers

Yes… Mark Pocan, the intensely progressive freshman from Wisconsin insists
he knows a genuine moderate Republican. Richard Hanna (R-NY) defeated
disappointing conservative Mike Arcuri in the Great Blue Dog Apocalypse of
2010 to win back Boehlert's old upstate New York seat (Utica, Rome,
Binghamton). The district-- now NY-22-- has a PVI of R+3 but was a 49-49%
tie in the presidential elections of 2008 and 2012. Last year Hanna was

Free and Stylish Glasses with Firmoo
I was given a pair of glasses from Firmoo.com in exchange for my honest
review.
I have a confession to make. I didn't need glasses when I first got them.
There was the super cute girl in my 5 grade class that everybody loved. She
had darling glasses and so naturally I wanted them too. I squinted a lot
until I finally talked my parents into giving me glasses. I remember
completely bluffing my way through my first eye exam. I ended up with a
pair of glasses I could hardly see out of but eventually ended up needing
them because I wore them anyway.

Components of Gender
From *Paradoxes of Gender* by Judith Lorber (1994), pp.30-1.
... gender is not a unitary essence but has many components as a social

composed of:
*Gender statuses*, the socially recognised genders in a society and the
norms and expectations for their enactment behaviourally, gesturally,
linguistically, emotionally, and physically. How gender statuses are
evaluated depends on historical development in any particular society.

The Middle Class Is Front And Centre
Michael Den Tandt writes that the next election will be about the Canadian
middle class. Justin Trudeau has made it his mantra. And now the
Conservatives -- as they try to take the focus off Mike Duffy and friends
and talk instead about "consumers first" -- will try to make it theirs.
Den Tandt writes that rhetoric about the long suffering middle class is not
just political hot air:
This problem is already giving Canadian politicians night sweats, driving
their future planning and shouldering other issues — climate change, to
name one — into the ditch. And it dictates that Feder... more »

*"Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig is now posthumously being recast
as the quintessential soldier-patriot. The truth is, he had a dark side:
wiretapping for Richard Nixon, facilitating the operations of a military
spy ring that stole classified documents from the White House, sabotaging
peace negotiations over Vietnam and détente with the USSR, and unduly
hastening Nixon's exit from office. Haig is most lauded as the man who,

“Sunday, sister Laura and I went to a festival a block from my apartment.

*He blames the Jewish Mafia for the disappearance of the Golden Era.*
*However, some people might question if the immediate post-war period
