UPDATE: In Patty Murray’s wonderful statement below the fold on the law, she links directly to the Thomas.loc list of sponsors. There were 54 senate co-sponsors! More than the number 51 we’d heard. And, even among the 54 co-sponsors, most of who necessarily were men since there are only 18 women in the U.S. [...]

UPDATE: PatRacimora has created a special cartoon that is going up tonight around 6 p.m. ET! It is poignant that this new law [...]

Obama’s speechwriter, Jon Favreau, demonstrating who he, and so many of those associated with Obama, is: a misogynistic, juvenile pig who has disrespected the Former First Lady of Arkansas, a Top 100 Attorneys in the United States TWICE, the former First Lady of the United States, a two term US Senator, the RIGHTFUL Democratic presidential [...]

Well, the election is over and we all need to figure out next steps. However, while we indulge in mulling, there’s stuff going on. Do you know where one of the “front lines” is in international war / finance / fraud? Computers. At least Obama now knows this first hand. [...]

Like many of you before this election cycle, I never watched Fox News. In my naivete, I believed they were the bad guys and MoveOn were the good guys. Boy have things changed.
I now go to Fox before any of the other MSM, and while there are several excellent reporters there, my favorite is [...]

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild has been joining Gov. Palin on the campaign of late. Gov. Palin has been discussing the issues facing women, as Lady Rothschild discusss in this clip:

Sarah stands up for all women: “"When it came time for choosing, somehow Barack Obama just couldn’t bring himself to pick the woman who got 18 million votes in his primary, and that seems to be too familiar a story isn’t it? … How it is for so many American women that the qualifications are [...]

I’m trained in philology–the study of words–and I began to wonder about Obama’s supporters’ favorite word for Sarah Palin, the one we’ve seen on the tee-shirts of men and women: Cunt. Going to my trusty OED, I found a bit of history, which is repeated on the online etymology dictionary. I will paste here, for [...]

Sarah Palin has become my new hero. While I don’t agree with some of her political positions, I love that she is unapologetically herself. And she is a REAL feminist, representing many of us who don’t toe the line of some definition of what that is. The so-called “progressives,” men and women alike, don’t [...]

One Half of the famous fowl-mouthed Fowler couple offers an apology. We’re still waiting for one from the other half. You know, her husband Pat Robertson, the guy who thinks a hurricane during the Republican convention was a special gift to him from God.

What He Wants Us To Believe
Barack Obama has made recent claims indicating pay equity for women would be a top priority if he were elected President. Sounds great. In fact, it might compel some to seriously consider his candidacy.
Don’t be fooled. What we’ve seen of Mr. Obama is a candidacy [...]

By all accounts, I suppose the mainstream media will now take it upon themselves to wax rhapsodic over Senator Obama’s latest speech today in Independence, Missouri – this one on patriotism, just in time for the 4th of July festivities.
There are many noble sentiments expressed in that speech so I won’t take issue [...]

Between Bush and Obama. This one is pretty shocking, I think. Well, it might be to Obamabots. Those of us still in the rational world aren’t really surprised by ANYTHING this guy will say or do, but still - this one is big. And, coincidentally, it also goes along with two [...]

When you spend enough time as a woman in Corporate America, it becomes very easy to pick out the guys who discriminate on the basis of sex. The closet ones are the worst. Those are the guys who talk the talk but in reality they are the worst offenders. They are the ones who know [...]

UPDATE 2: Just announced: “Statement from Hillary Clinton on Equal Pay Day.” From the statement, “Even forty years after the Equal Pay Act was signed into law, women only receive .77 cents for every dollar men earn, and the gap is significantly more for women of color.” FULL TEXT is below the fold.

When I was a kid I wore a lot of buttons (still do). Anti-war buttons, campaign buttons, farmworker / boycott buttons, ERA buttons, “I read banned books” buttons, “Question authority” buttons, anti-nuclear power buttons … you name it, I had it in my collection, and I wore them with pride.
One of my buttons was [...]
