Even as a stay-at-home mom who handles almost all the household work, the term "choreplay" irritates me. Haven't heard it yet? Well, here's what it means: Men can get more sex if they do chores around the house. This NYT article makes a lot of good points, including the part about fathers and women's voices in business. (Note to beer and car manufacturers: I'm the one who buys most of the beer in our household. I don't drink beer, but I buy it for my husband since I'm the one who runs most of the errands. I'm also part of the car buying decision. So if your ad is sexist and I don't like it, I won't buy your product. Perhaps, you should cater to me, too. I swear, when I watch some of these commercials I know there aren't women, in positions of power, making decisions, because half this nonsense would never be aired if there were.) But here's where the NYT's article goes off the rails.....

Republican senator and presidential hopeful Lindsey Graham (he can't be actually running, this is a joke, right?) said in Concord, New Hampshire yesterday that his first act of business as President is to deploy the United States Military to Washington, DC to surround Capital Hill and the Capital Building and force the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass his overly inflated military budget that does away with sequestration. Heil Hitler!!! Er ah, I mean Heil President Graham! You sir truly are a dictator. Or at least you want to be. You see Republicans, that is what a dictator would look like. You say Obama is a dictator? LOL, no. Actually deploying the military on US Soil (which is an impeachable crime itself under the Posse Comitatus act) to force Congress to pass your agenda. That's a armed coup d'etat.
