The Times reports that “Men are fuming; women are despairing” about the state of the nation – and the economy – which means the men will vote and the women won’t. Such behavior skews the results toward the fumers, natch. Which could, down the line, mean that women have even more to despair about, if the representatives the fumers choose then go on to do further damage to the economy and the frayed social safety net.

The way out? Vote ladies! Time to stand up for our sorry selves, before we’re sorrier still.
