Feminist links du jour; a joke

fleaA very intelligent response to the New York Times' recent articles on women and family: http://www.alternet.org/story/28621/

I am just going to have to stop reading the NYT's modern society coverage. The latest is one about how "these kids today" are all out of control and it's the parents' fault (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/weekinreview/27warner.html?incamp=article_popular_4). I know that the overall message isn't intended to be parent-bashing - it's intended to criticize *bad* parents - but I can't help but take it personally. Every single article I read about parenting, motherhood, women and society in the Times is sending me bad vibes - it's all criticize, no uplift. I gotta start reading Ms. or something instead. So much for Bastions of the Liberal Media.

In much more fun news, here is Casper's joke. It is a knock-knock joke, but she says all the lines, very quickly, all run together:
"Knock knock. Who's there. [Unintelligible] who. JELLYBEAN!"
This is so cute that even though it doesn't make sense we laugh like mad. She tells the joke over and over and I still have no idea what the unintelligible part is.
