Interesting -- and not at all surprising.
Quoted: In Daniel Gilbert's 2006 book "Stumbling on Happiness," the Harvard professor of psychology looks at several studies and concludes that marital satisfaction decreases dramatically after the birth of the first child—and increases only when the last child has left home. He also ascertains that parents are happier grocery shopping and even sleeping than spending time with their kids. Other data cited by 2008's "Gross National Happiness" author, Arthur C.

Go Biden! I wish more Dems would be this blunt about the Bush administration.
Quoted: The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, called President Bush’s comments accusing Sen.

ms.kruse | Shared With: Everyone - May 08 2008 | election, funny, news, The OnionI always find it incredibly phony (if not devisive) when cadidates say "God bless America." That's something that you'd only genuinely say if you were moderately to very religious, which most of the candidates never are. I think they always think they have to say it to seem like "they got religion too," which is dumb.

At least some countries get it.
Quoted: By now, no one should be surprised by Zapatero's commitment to gender equality.

He also appointed equal numbers of men and women to cabinet positions, and named María Teresa Fernández de la Vega as his deputy prime minister.
This time around, the prime minister, who was re-elected on March 9, appointed more women than men to his cabinet. He also created a new Equality Ministry, charged with ensuring fairness in the workplace and continuing the fight against domestic violence.
