The Noble Ambitions of a Housewife

While studying European History with Gullino, we noticed that the centuries-old discrimination of women has always constricted them to having little more ambition in life than running a satisfactory household. For example, 18th century wives of English imperialists in India aspired to learn Hindu in order to better govern their servants. So I have compiled a list of what a modern housewife might aspire to do:
(written from the perspective of a housewife)
1. Create a sponge that quickly and more efficiently washes dishes
2. Purchase books so that my husband might read them to me
3. Own several dresses of the same color so that I might avoid laundry for a couple of days
4. Aquire gardening skills so that I can have the neighborhood's prettiest yard
5. Name my children Francois and Lord William because they deserve only the best
6. Ensure that my children are shielded from offensive television programs such as America's Next Top Model and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
7. Entertain fellow housewives with tea and stimulating conversations about sewing and bridge
8. Invent new and exciting snacks for the children: prehaps a bite sized bagel with pizza toppings (I could call it a "bagel bite")
9. Memorize excerpts from Sarah Palin's book, "Going Rogue"
10. Learn songs from The Sound of Music on the guitar so I can teach the family like Frauline Maria did

Really?

WOMAN BLAMES SQUIRREL FOR TOPPLING BIKE
Police arrested Tiffany Lynn Gaubert, a 22-year-old unaffiliated with the University, of 170 Constant Drive in Thibodaux, for disturbing the peace by intoxication after receiving complaints of someone overturning a motorcycle at East Campus Apartments.
The motorcycle’s owner told police Gaubert tipped the motorcycle. Gaubert denied toppling the motorcycle and blamed it on a squirrel. Gaubert, who police later learned was drinking vodka and Dr Pepper, said she was trying feed barbecue to the squirrel when it ran off and knocked the bike over, said Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSU Police Department spokesperson.
The owner did not press charges, and police were ready to release Gaubert, Tabor said. She then became hostile toward the officers and was arrested and issued a misdemeanor summons for disturbing the peace. She was transported by police to a friend’s residence, Tabor said.

Thank you, Washington Post!!!!!

I appologize for neglecting the blog while getting my act together in that institution commonly known as "school" (my procrastination has gotten a bit out of hand). But in my defense, this irresponsibility is justified by senioritis. Just read the article.

Dalai Lama: the social butterfly


The Dalai Lama Just Joined Twitter

And just like that the Dalai Lama has jumped to over a thousand followers, tripling his count in just a few minutes. Hard to keep secrets on Twitter.

In an East meets West and Old meets New convergence, the Dalai Lama has just joined Twitter.

The account is verified, and according to his three tweets, he joined around 12 hours ago. You can find his account here.

He has just 354 followers so it’s likely that no one knows that he is tweeting away in his saffron robes. Look for his Twitter follower account to explode in the next few hours as everyone picks up the story.

From Newsweek's Quotes of the Week

"I am beginning to get fed up with the amount of nonsensical rubbish I take all day and every day. If one more [New Zealand] child asks me what it's like to be a prince, I shall go demented … Will you visit me when they strap me in a white apron and deposit me in some institution?"
England's Prince Charles, in a letter to friends during a 1981 tour to the southern hemisphere. The letter was part of a collection of Charles' private writings released by The Guardian last week in honor of his 60th birthday.

Run to Canada while you can!

Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office, speaks about the economic and budget outlook in Washington, D.C.

The latest dose of reality from Elmendorf's CBO: a forecast that the federal deficit will reach $1.35 trillion this year — $4,400 for every American. All that red ink means the overall debt will rise to $8.8 trillion by the end of 2010, or about 60% of gross domestic product — the highest level of public debt since 1952. "There's a fundamental disconnect between the level of benefits that people want the government to provide, particularly for older Americans, and the amount of resources that people want to send to Washington to pay for those benefits," Elmendorf says. "To make the fiscal policies sustainable will require some resolution of that fundamental disconnect."
