Monday with Rain

nightdog_barksCold rain -- 45 degrees (7.22 Celsius). Slept fairly well, although I had some odd dreams which I can't remember at all now (they were already fading by the time I woke up).
Anyway, here's a bit more of Craig Ferguson, from American On Purpose -- this is from when he was seventeen years old (putting it behind a cut because it's about gender stereotypes, and while I thought it was pretty funny in its adolescent male obliviousness, others might not):
Among my peers, the idea that any normal female would genuinely desire to have sex was dismissed as nonsense. We'd been taught from an early age that sex was shameful and bad, that men wanted it all the time because they were slaves to their appetites, and that women were good, they didn't like or want sex but would allow it in order to have babies, or because they were drunk, or English. No one actually said this out loud, it was just hinted at.
Also, what planet is George Will living on?
Twenty years from now, the country is going to be spending a larger portion of its GDP on health care than it is now for three reasons. We're getting older, and as we age, we get more chronic diseases that interact with one another. Second, we're getting richer; we can afford to buy more medicine. And, third, medicine is becoming more competent. Therefore, we're going to spend more on health care.
I'll just assume that's the imperial "we," kthxbai. Source.
