Seven Sons

Story on CNN.com today, out of the blue, about how sex scandals can be bipartisan. Thank you for reminding us that Democrats also have dicks (if they only had balls to go with them). Blatant overcompensation–the second Dem example is Gary Hart, whose scandal was barely pre-dated by the most recent Scritti Politti album. There are legally-drinking college graduates who were not alive when that happened. The other Democratic examples were Spitzer and that drunk senator who flipped for the stripper in 1974. The Pinto debuted in 1974 so, yeah, that’s timely. Assinine.

So the media, being handed a scientific breakthrough story, are falling over themselves to call this thing the missing link. But since evolution is a slow, incremental, and continuous process that really isn’t a great term for the primate skeleton that was unvieled this week. My favorite comment on this story so far has to be one by user DeafDumbBlind on slashdot… “Great, 2 more gaps created in our fossil records.”
