"I feel a real sense from Palin not just that she has no qualifications, but that academic achievement is to be mocked and isn’t worth pursuing. The anti-intellectualism she represents is horrible, especially since getting the best education available is the best way for women to succeed.

In Palin I see someone who embraces and celebrates academic mediocrity, which is against everything I’ve ever valued as an educated professional."

Interesting short piece, "My Wedding Ring," in the NYTimes Freakonomics blog (thanks for the heads up, Rebecca!).

Silly and/but interesting: Why do women love the stay-at-home dads but lust after the Don Drapers?
