That’ll exercise you
Here’s a screenshot of a discussion thread that is tres meta and delightfully absurd. Enjoy.
Meanwhile, we’re trying to figure out the insanity of California PE requirements. I really need to get Karen to blog about this, since she did the research today. But as best we can tell, one parting gift from the Bush Administration is a physical fitness test designed to train millions of boot camp-ready teens.
Gotta go. Upset stomach.
D.
Karen has a blog, too?? What’s her URL?
Have you read the post by the guy who says science fiction has been ruined forever by its being feminized?? See the article and the SBTB reply from Candy.

It was all those big macs, wasn’t it?
Karen doesn’t blog. She used to, but it got to be too much work, so nowadays I occasionally can get her to post here.
SF has been ruined, but I wouldn’t describe it as “being feminized.” Somewhere along the way, the folks at Asimov’s and F&SF decided they wanted to publish serious fiction dressed with the trappings of SF. Good heavens, that stuff hurts to read. Not all of it is like that, but enough.
Dean: Bad Mexican, more like.
President Kennedy mobilized the country with his youth fitness initiatives that I remember well at my high school. Given that we expected to be nuked and/or invaded by Russia via Cuba, having strong and fit youth for our armies was a national defense priority.
