Reproductive Success - Not
Qua dog, it's hard for me to grok this Spitzer affair. Go ahead and call me a specieist, but honestly she doesn't do a thing for me - far too much skin showing for one thing. I prefer mine black 'n tan, curly, and preferably on all fours. Va va voom! (Tho Spitzer may have preferred his on all fours as well, heaven only knows). The Monday morning quarter-backing after the news broke sure was amusing. One link pointed out that Spitzer may not have been caught (at least not this soon) had he used a pre-paid cell phone instead of his own. Brilliant! Or, instead of kiting money through various conventional bank accounts, he ought to have used PayPal. Er, make that PayGal. (nyuk nyuk).

And then there was this from a Wall Street Journal article (emphasis mine):

Mr. Spitzer spent yesterday afternoon in his New York City apartment with his wife, daughters and other family members. His brother, Daniel Spitzer, a neurosurgeon, said: "If men never succumbed to the attractions of women, then the human species would have died out a long time ago."

An exculpatory remark from a (presumably) close sibling at a time like this is not unexpected. But surely Spitzer's wife doesn't care one wit about the evolutionary musings of a brain surgeon. Nor would I expect her to be understanding of her husband's behavior in terms of its gradual role in saving man from extinction. In fact, about now she's probably wishing men hadn't evolved at all, or at least that one man hadn't.
