Its Valentines Day and that means its time to get a gift for your special someone. What is she looking for? Traditional flowers and chocolates are passé; a nice dinner seems hackneyed. Here are some suggestions from those in the cultural/political world for what women really want for Valentines Day:
[Warnings: some of these are real horrible doozies.]

What do men and women really want? Studies show that women want jewelry (35 percent), flowers (24 percent), or a card (10 percent). Men, predictably, want sex (44 percent). Unless they want a video game (14 percent).

Planned Parenthood said the ideal Valentine’s Day gift is a Prepaid Abortion gift card! Can you BELIEVE those ghouls?
Next week the bear will be at the local Salvation Army thrift store.
Wish I could find the girl there, cheap.

Not true and not true.
I did not go to the article, but I assume that the gigantic bear is one of the suggestions.
Men, I beg of you! Do not get the bear for your wife. Where in the samhill would it go in the house?
Very good!
Everytime I hear one of those teddy bear commercials on the radio, I shake my head... Unless you’re under 25 and in the “you’re my schmoopy” phase of dating, who in their right mind....?
But then I’m such a practical gifter (and getter). My husband will never let me live down the time I returned a gorgeous silk nightgown and got myself.... a crockpot. ROFL
When you go to the carnival or amusement park you see these ginormous stuffed animal prizes.
Great! You put the ring over the pop bottle neck. Now you've won a huge purple gorilla.
How are you going to carry that thing for the rest of the day? Even then, I'm not sure THEY would want it.
I certainly wouldn't buy a Goodwill stuffed animal.
No telling where its been, or if it has been exposed to fleas or who knows what kind of bodily fluid.
A crockpot? And I thought I was very practical! Funny. I am sure he has reaped he benefits of that crockpot many times. Love crockpots, especially this time of year.
I remind my husband frequently that I have no desire to own any diamonds besides the beautiful engagement ring he gave me. Costume jewelry I have lots of, and I have no desire to wear costly gems. Usually, I buy nicely made stuff from a department store, but I look for sales. It seems that when I lose an earring it turns out to be one of the more expensive one.
Ewww! You had to leave me with that image of the used stuffed animal. Ack!
I have bought one thing from a Goodwill store — actually a sheet to use as a banner to protest Gore in the 2000 election. Over the years, I contributed quite a bit to Goodwill. Now, I will not give them a thing, since I found out that the organization is not so benign.
