I never read her columns because they are so lame and the titles are stupid. So, there are two rules for this thread.

1. The title must be stupid.

2. The title cannot be interesting.


I have a few suggestions to get things started.

Why barefoot and pregnant is best for women

How giving pets middle names will end the recession

Why immigrants should drive our taxis

Maybe we can pick a winner when all is said and done.

"I'm so stupid. Why do I still have a column?"

That one will never be written. Something she'd actually come up with, ... hmmmm.

"A second look at climate change"

"Obama needs to consider the opposition"

"When leftist radicals meet reality"

"My housekeeper does a bad job and there's nothing I can do about it"

We are witnessing the passing of working-class masculinity

Oh no wait... That's a REAL Margaret Wente title...

I wonder what the chances are that she is rabidly writing down these titles and frothing at the mouth. Fool

"Residential Schools: Better than Catching TB at Home!"

Admittedly, that's a pretty feeble attempt compared to Wente's own claim that Newfoundland is "the most vast and scenic welfare ghetto in the world."

"Enviro-romanticism is hurting Africa"
"Organic tastes good, but better for us? No"
"Health care diagnosis: sick, sick, sick "
"Ban the burka? No, but ..."
"If we're so equal, why aren't we happy?" (about women)
"Welcome to Government Motors"
"Brian Mulroney diminished"
"Please stop nannying us, Toronto!"

[Each of which was a column title in the last few months.]
[Argh.]

I hate to say this, but Wente herself is beating you guys hollow. Not only are her column titles of the last couple of days dumber than anything here, but for some reason a new picture of her looking totally disinterested in anything is at the column head.

This may be a case where reality is beyond mockery.

That vapid stare of hers! "Not a lot going on up there, eh sweetie?"
