Beautiful Women

Wow!

The Great Plotnik has been blessed to live his life among beautiful women. He's got The Great Ducknik, he's got The Great BZWZ, he's got Mummy Plotnik (certainly leading the league in the Above 94-Category), and he most certainly has The Great FiveHead and The Gorgeous Belly Bone. Look at these two!

Beautiful people just do better in life, you know? This morning Plottie read a great editorial by Kathleen Parker about how being totally smitten by Sarah Palin is the only thing that can explain John McCain's irrationally fatal choice. But guys do irrational things when confronted by beautiful women. And if the gals are smart too, then, boys, we are powerless. Admit it.

There is probably some genetic sense to be made of man's hormonal folly -- if we fight a stupid war over a pretty face, which is probably why most wars truly do get waged, then civilization must reap some benefit. Can it be that war is good for us? That stupid idiots serve a purpose in our evolution? That self-serving evangelical morons like Dubya are actually helping us evolve into greater beings?

Well, we don't want to think so, but it HAS been going on like this for a long time.

(And a note to The Great Dance-nik, currently winging her way to a dance convention in Cuba: Beautiful women also paralyze us. The problem might be the $17 martinis.)

(One further note to Dance-nik: To Hell with Cuban dancers. We need FOOD PICTURES!)

(Last note: this leader of a minor Western Religion does not find Governor Palin to be 'hot.' She's the female Joe The Plumber. No thanks. OK, she's prettier than Lady Bird Johnson and Bella Abzug. But hot? Please.)

Jeez. All they did was send Plottie this gorgeous photo and look where it took him. 5H and B-2, you are spectacular. Over and out.
