My youngest who came home with a poor 1st qtr report card improved in every subject this qtr.
Still not where he should be but you gotta walk before you run.

You know if I got my first raise in my job…

…I think i’d notice it, but apparently my Oldest got a .25 cent raise a month and a half ago and never noticed it until this evening.
Hey even having a job is an accomplishment these days. Getting a raise of any size certainly doesn’t hurt.
Meanwhile I continue to get my own “raise” as several people have kicked into the CPAC/I’ll do it myself Tucker fund. To all who have gotten me over 8% of the way there already, my shock is only exceeded by my gratitude.
Meanwhile my shock continues as Dan Collins of POWIP also bangs the drum for more Fedoras at CPAC while Ruby slippers links to my Planned Parenthood in Fitchburg post.
Update: The shock continues as this blog is a featured blog on Pundit & Pundette.
An Army of Cindys

One of the side effects of a blog suddenly getting a lot more traffic then it used to in an increased number of e-mail to deal with and a whole lot more comments to answer and think about.
One of those commentators was Cindy who had this to say about the “daughter being available” business:
That is something my dad would do. In fact, he’s done a lot worse than that. I don’t care much, and I’m sure his daughters don’t, either. If your dad speaks in public (mine’s a preacher), you kinda get used to being poked at that way. People need to lighten up.
Now I don’t know Cindy and it’s unlikely we will ever meet but my apolitical wife had the same reaction. I’ll wager a lot of sons and daughters across the country of every political persuasion had this same reaction.
In a world were 12 year old girls are sold for cows and 13 year old girls get 90 lashes for taking a cell phone to school an attempt to portray Senator Brown’s remarks as misogyny doesn’t rate and that Army of Cindys out there knows it.
The worst thing a political party or movement can do is to lose credibility with the people they are trying to persuade. When you make a charge that regular people recognize as bogus the fall away begins.
Update: Reaganite Republican links thanks: American Glob doesn’t but I felt like linking to him anyway.
Update 2: Robert Stacy Links me all over. The fact that some people are making what they are of this say a whole lot more about them then it does about Scott Brown.
It was fun having Stacy McCain here for a week and covering the race…

…and I’ll have at least two more follow up posts concerning it, but let me tell you something.
It is a great pleasure to have the time to make a nice dinner for the wife, and pick up a few flowers for her.
Stacy and I have a lot in common although I’m perhaps the more restrained version, but there is one thing that is exactly the same about us…
…we both feel we have hit the lottery when it comes to marriage. I’ve had a rough year but a rough year with my wife beside me is better than a smooth year with anyone else (even the Charming Roxeanne). For all his jokes I have no doubt he feels the same about his lady.
When you have the right wife you have everything.
