Every so often, the media dusts off and replays some version of the story that marriage is dead, a casualty of women’s empowerment and dramatic economic shifts. These stories generally shed as much light on the nation’s media class as they do on the real story of America’s family troubles. There’s no better example than Kate Bolick’s much-discussed Atlantic magazine cover story, “All the Single Ladies.”
Like a vocal number of her high achieving peers, the 39-year-old Bolick remains single not because she is cursed by nature– we know that because in an unusual and, I dare say, cynical decision, the magazine put Bolick’s sultry face and lace bodiced figure on its cover -- but because of a taste for independence and a lack of acceptable candidates for her hand.

Joe,
I just got this email from my child's school promoting the revenue cap meeting tonight. This goes hand in hand with John Fredericksens scare tactic meeting on the budget last 2 weeks ago. I find it appalling that the County BOE would use a PTA members name and submit a mass email via a school employees email address. Someone should get fired for this and John Fredericksen should loose his contract. Please post this so everyone can see how sneaky John Fredericksen works behind the scenes to attack the County Council and the citizens.
