You Insensitive Jerk and Other Forms of Cardiovascular Conditioning

I don't like to complain.

But according to a story in The New York Times this week, it is not enough to eat right and engage in regular exercise: Marital Spats, Taken to Heart

Recent studies, documented in the July report of Psychosomatic Medicine, suggest that women who don't fully vent their feelings when arguing with their husbands are "four times as likely" to die of heart disease as women who "always"  tell their husbands how they feel.

So I'm just going to come out and say it:

1. Home-improvement prowess doesn't exempt you from having to put your dirty clothes into the laundry basket.

2. If you are so much smarter than a raccoon, how come you are the only one in the family who hasn't had to pick garbage off the lawn at 6 a.m.?  Wait... don't answer that.

3. Your observation that Dennis Kucinich's wife is a hot young redhead with a tongue piercing is not exactly astute political analysis.  Observing it repeatedly is not exactly astute marital commentary either. 

There.  I think I will skip the StairMaster today.

I always looked at Kucinich as sort of a joke, a fringe loony candidate running for the sake of his own ego. But when I saw his new wife, I realized just how brilliant the man really is. He wasn't running for ego -- he was running to impress the hotties. Brilliant!

I suspect Mrs. Kucinich is causing a lot of marital discord (and the accompanying heart problems) around the US of A these days.

Lord, is Bossy going to live a long life...

Where is the picture of said redhead hottie? Executive Suburbanite confesses she doesn't have time to follow the current beauty status of candidate wives.
