Stan, if you're feeling alienated by Christmas, just think. In 100,000 years or so the Y chromosome will be extinct. Feel better? That's what Maureen Dowd says, and I'm sure it's based in fact. In the meantime, the world is feminizing. She claims that's the real reason for why the Bushies invaded Iraq, to bring back macho manhood. Seriously. I have to agree with her.
