Speaking of which, it's funny how conservatives who bemoan the endangered state of American marriage never mention that it was Ronald Reagan who gave our country its first no-fault divorce law.

It's amazing to me that the Republicans can still get away with selling themselves as the "family values" party, when so much of their agenda is aimed at making things hard for families. Sending jobs oveseas, "no child left behind," chipping away at social services at all levels - how do they manage to keep a straight face? Amazing.
