^^ I pretty much assume that anyone who makes a big deal about "family values" will have a sex scandal. Thus far my hypothesis seems more supported than not.

I can't believe someone actually researched this...

Those GCers mature enough to remember “Saturday Night Live” from Way Back When may understand why my reaction to the following was ----

“isn't that special?'

“In the case of a government shutdown, essential personnel who are kept on duty -- including troops in the field -- do not receive paychecks, but members of Congress do.”

I don't know about "way back when" but those were definitely my favorite SNL years.

Parents keep child's gender a secret.
 
This couple is keeping the baby's gender a secret from everyone but those present at the birth, it seems. Not even the grandparents get to know. Their two boys (5 and 2) are allowed to choose if they want their hair long or short, if they want to wear boys' or girls' clothing and, when they are mistaken for girls, they are allowed to choose to either correct the person or not. This is to avoid the restrictions of gender roles and allow the children to choose what they want to be.

After reading the entire article it doesn't seem like the parents are doing their kids any favors by doing this.

WTF? Really? And I'm kind of pissed on how they are blaming southwest for this.

Well the article can be read in a way that implies that southwest is responsible for this.

This brings even more unwanted attention to United Airlines, who is having a rough month with publicity. Earlier, United Airlines reactivated the retired flight numbers of the two planes that were hijacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001 and crashed. Almost immediately after noticing the numbers, United removed them from the system.

That wasn’t the only thing United suffered harsh criticism over, a new advertisement that went public recently was taken poorly by the public. The United Airlines ad read,”You’re going to like where we land” and was located across the street from ground zero. It has since been removed.
