Update: Bruce notes in comments that Snopes says it’s likely fabricated but still expresses many such sentiments common at that time. Via the Stephanie Miller show I heard this 1955 guide to marriage, written for the then modern women, I guess? Anyway, it is hilarious. A few side-splitter excepts below the fold:

Another reason to love Twitter
Wasn’t there an episode of Seinfeld where the sleazy ambulance chasing lawyer paradied the OJ trial and berated Kramer for allowing the defense to get ahold of a key piece of evidence? Something similar happened with the 37th appeal of Obamacare and House GOP loudmouths on Twitter today. My colleagues at Daily Kos grabbed a few …

Money doesn’t kill people, Austerity kills people
In most any civilized space-time that headline would be unassailable. Remove or reduce food, shelter, and medical care, and more people die. Some get so depressed by facing all of that, they choose the only way out they see. But we live in interesting times, where facts don’t count for a huge chunk of the purportedly most prosperous …

God’s grace and wingnut stupidity puts Sanford back in power
There’s a certain segment of people who are allowed to succeed no matter how badly they fail. Wall Street CEOs come to mind. But one such sector is found among the leadership of the evangelical right, they thrive best in the least literate states, and such was the case in South Carolina last night:

Mission accomplished and then some, no further help needed!
DONE, FINISHED, NO MONEY NEEDED! Should take you to my paypal page, if not my paypal email is darksydothemoon [break-remove]-’at’-aol-dot-com name Steve Andrew.

Nice diary on capitalism
I enjoyed this diary because it had two important info age features: it was short and informative. This part was well written especially and it brings up something — a way corporations are exploiting employees at every level except, of course, the very tippy-top — I may do a full feature article on in the next …

Marx’s revenge
I’ve always thought the communists made a big mistake, especially the Soviets. Well, they made a bunch of mistakes in retrospect, not the least of which included the transfer of power. That was never worked out very well, paving the way for allegories like Animal Farm and real-world tyrants like Stalin. But another mistake — purely from an experiemtnal …

Muscle car 2013
We all have our weaknesses, one of mine happens to be muscle cars. Which over my fifty year lifetime has always meant oil-powered carbon-spewing road monsters. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and in fact it cannot remain that way, for a bunch of reasons I’m sure you all know well. So it’s …

Pope washes ‘controversial’ feet: Geller & usual suspects will get right on this …
A few headlines across the nut-o-sphere read variations on Catholics angered over Pope’s choice of his foot washing … person. Here’s the nut of the angst:

Another conservative switches teams on marriage equality
It’s funny how knowing someone affected by your laws and traditions, and your bigoted prejudicial medieval mindset, makes all the difference eh? Sen. Rob Portmam (R-OH) found out recently he had a son that was affected. And boy howdy did the Senator’s former ‘heartfelt moral principles’ fall faster in the face of that familial reality …
