Thursday evening roundup

Excuse me Mr. Schumacher-Matos? Why do women owe their success to the maid/nanny but not men? Is child-care and housekeeping their responsibility and not yours? Has it occurred to you that some women owe their success to men who actually take part in child-rearing and housekeeping? And that you also benefit from the maid/nanny?

Yes, this angle on increased pedestrian fatalities really is pathetic in numerous ways, and I'm not sure whether Blame-Michelle-Obama or Loosely Define "Activity" is worse.

As you know, beware of health claims on food labels. No, I don't expect you to read that whole thing, but there's a reason I didn't just link to the summary: some of the tables and specifics are really interesting and revealing.

Here's a superbowl ad you won't be seeing.

My head nearly exploded reading that Washington Post article. It would be different if he wasn't married with a job of his own. It's like, "Dude, she's YOUR maid/nanny, too, since she's taking care of YOUR children." I would argue that domestic help isn't just a lifesaver four the working man AND woman, but also helps keep marriages together, especially his -- since any other woman would have dumped his unhelpful butt, if they weren't in the position to hire domestic help.
