LIGHT POSTING

I've got less time for writing today and tomorrow so it's going to be a bit of light posting. While I'm not expecting the kind of panic we go into when digby doesn't post for a couple of days, I just thought you should be informed.

It could be worse. On my WP is a draft based on the, soi disant, Marilyn vos Savant's wisdom implying the natural basis for the pay differential between women and men due to body conformation. But I didn't have the heart to post it. I'm not that hard up for short subjects.

I hope you will check in because I've got Friday off.

What the heck. Hey, Mar, how much do you get paid for all that heavy lifting at taste of the tabloid? How much do the people who clean the offices get?

Comments:
Marilyn Vos Savant is, to me, living proof that IQ tests are utterly worthless.
 
vos Savant, the first time I saw that it's presumption made my mouth fall open. It only makes me think that Mensa must be a really boring group, a sort of mine's bigger contest of a really dull sort.

The only acceptable reason to give a test is to find out what someone needs help learning, classifying a person for life is disgusting and unscientific. The chapter on the history of IQ testing in The Mismeasure of Man should be required knowlege in anyone discussing these topics.
