Spectacular bureaucratic stupidity

Quick, someone call Mark Steyn. Denmark's "family minister", Carina Christensen, wants Danes to increase their birth rate. To that end, Christensen is planning a nationwide tour so she can meet with Danish families to "discuss their everyday lives and what keeps them from increasing their ranks."

Uh, here's a clue, Carina:

The family minister, who has no children of her own, admitted that she has no plans to start a family in the near future.

'It isn't easy in 2007 to have a career mesh nicely with having a big family.'

*sigh* Some days it doesn't pay to wake up and chew through the restraints.
