More village water tower follies today. The iron company working on our water tower should be able to finish the work today (the sun is about to come up, and the Fire Brigade is already on the site wetting down the area to prevent prairie fires and running off rattlesnakes).

After that, they will disinfect the tower, and that’s the end of their work. Then my work begins: Fill the tower, let it sit for awhile, drain the tower completely to remove the disinfectant, fill it again, test the water to see if any disinfectant is left, rinse and repeat. (Each part of this takes a day. Good thing the village has an unemployed trustee/water operator who’ll do this stuff for free. For that moonbat at Alternet that called me a neoliberal imperialist warmongering shill, I don’t think I’m doing either the neoliberalism or imperialism correctly.)

OT: My wife, commenting on a YouTube video about politics over at the Young Turks (she occasionally watches them) had a commentator call her a neo-Marxist, which started an epic troll takedown by my wife. That would be my Libertarian Party wife. The LP is about as far as Marxism as you can get. I really think the moonbats and wingnuts just throw around $5 terms without knowing what they mean.

Back on (some) topic, my wife also suggested I read a Wonkette article by Five Dollar Feminist about a woman who writes for The Federalist (in other words, she doesn’t have a job), who is married to the Breitbart writer who quit the day after Michele Fields was allegedly assaulted by one of Donald Trump’s campaign staff.

This woman is the perfect straw anti-feminist (allegedly triggering liberal snowflakes for calling them out for their “post-feminist” society). She is every trope from Ladies Home Journal’s “Can This Marriage Be Saved?” articles by first-class sexist and “Doctor” Paul Popenoe.

(I wrote a long article about this which is far more informative than the one you can find at Huffington Post. The fellow was a Dominionist wingnut in the Thirties when he started his “marriage counselling service.” In short, it’s always the woman’s fault.)

Back to Wonkette, newlywed Inez Stepman has just discovered the secrets of marriage after reaching the tender age of twenty or so and married less than a year. She wants to tell all you liberal snowflakes that have been married for twenty, forty, or more years what your doing wrong that your marriages have been so short and brutal.

All I can say about the woman Wonkette profiles here is WTF? My wife used the long form of that when she described the article to me.

I guess my marriage is doomed according to this woman’s assessments, because I’ve only been married eleven years and my wife does not fit her ideal of physical attractiveness.
