Breaking: Glenn Reynolds Is A Woman

How else could he not understand why this list of Father's Day gift suggestions is pretty cool?

Mmmmmm....power tools.....mmmmmm........

(Not that I'm angling for anything here, mind you. I happen to think the whole Mother's Day/Father's Day thing is a crock, a pair of phony holidays originally manufactured by the great FTD/Hallmark/Zales conspyrecy, with others joining the cabal later.)

Hell, I would want all that stuff for Mother's Day.

The straight shaft trimmer is one of my favorite power tools ever.

Make of that what you will.

Actually, the woman who invented Mothers' Day, Anna Jarvis, was quite incensed at the commercialization of the special day and worked all her life to fight it.
