This article reminds me of the time wife Deb and I were in Aruba. We ended up sharing a cab with a couple who were going to a nearby resort. The couple consisted of a statuesque blonde and a thin, mousy little man, a contrast that led me to conclude he must have been very wealthy. They were Dutch, so it's also possible that both were typical looking for the Netherlands. The woman spent most of the cab ride complaining about their resort. She had apparently done what is perfectly normal in large portions of the world, i.e., sunbathe topless while at the pool. People complained and management asked her to cover up. And she was appalled. I mean, it was weird for an American to hear a deeply attractive woman complaining about how unfair it was that she could not show her breasts in public. Because in America, we don't really do the topless sunbathing thing at all, and we are also short on statuesque blondes, I've noticed. I spent the entire ride agreeing with her, by the way. "Yes," I said, "it's really really awful. You should be able to sunbathe topless wherever you want. Where are you staying again? I'll certainly file a complaint..." and so on. And for some reason this got me in trouble with my wife. The Obama-New Yorker flap I'm only going to say that I agree with essentially everything said in this article. We need to get a grip, y'all. Dear Brett Favre: please please go away He's trying to un-retire. What a shock. I refer you to my thoughts on Favre in March, when he announced his "retirement".
