Women Voters Outnumbered Men in tonights Primary
Women returned solidly to Hillary Rodham Clinton's side, helping her overcome Barack Obama's advantage among the large independent bloc in New Hampshire's Democratic primary, an exit poll found. John McCain's experience, reputation for "straight talk" and appeal among moderates helped him beat Mitt Romney in the Republican contest.

Clinton — vying to become the first female president — won 46 percent of the women's vote while Obama got only 34 percent, according to the survey conducted for The Associated Press and television networks. Obama beat Clinton by a comparable margin among men, but women voters outnumbered men in the Democratic primary by 57-43.

1. As a man, let me say this:
I wish only women could vote and hold office. We guys like blowing stuff up waaay to much.

2. My son wants dynamite...
He's eight years old and asked for some a few weeks ago. Seems he saw something on TV and thought it was great. So yeah, you guys like blowing stuff up. :P

4. We can't help it. Honest.
But sometimes it's useful. We blasted some guys to the Moon awhile back. And then blasted them back. But I'll admit that usually it doesn't work out so well.

5. Maggie?
Well, if it wasn't sexist, I'd say that Maggie was an honorary man. But that would probably be demeaning so I refuse to say it.

6. Boudicca.
No gunpowder, but lots of blood.

Still, we are not naturally wasteful. (Or perhaps it's the lower salaries that causes that.)
