It’s not personal, it’s business. Revenues have been decreasing at an escalating rate in all business lines. Major losses in the main subsidiary have been financed through intercompany borrowings. Despite the financial hemorrhage, management has been [...]

Personally, I’m not one to follow the Hollywood gossip news, my life has enough drama in it so I don’t need to watch it on TV. So, why am I bringing them up in my post? I’m doing it to show there seems to be an ongoing [...]

I saw this discussion on Kelly’s Court prior to the trial of Chris Brown, who was facing felony charges, possibly an attempted murder charge, against Rihanna. Let me go ahead and warn you now that the photos of Rihanna are graphic:

Father’s Day is a time to acknowledge the unique role dads have in raising the next generation of boys and girls. Both men as well as women need to be actively involved in raising children.
Dr. Michael S. Kimmel asks in his article Why Men Should Support Gender Equity
Why should men participate in the movement [...]

(bumped up in light of Olive Garden no longer running ads on CBS “Late Show” with late night comic David Letterman.)
But all women, in my humble opinion. That is what David Letterman did with his sexist comments regarding Governor Palin and her daughter (and it doesn’t matter if he meant the OLDER one - [...]

Having recently returned from vacation, I am trying to catch up on all things political. As my title states, I see the attacks on Sarah Palin are still quite popular. Dang, has any woman ever posed such a threat to so many that she, and her children, were subjected to such public attacks?
From No [...]

When Peter Daou writes, I read. As many of you know, Peter Daou headed Hillary Clinton’s campaign Web site and her site’s blog operations. I always admired Peter’s attempts to post at Daily Kos (one of his countless tasks), where he was cruelly torn apart for supporting Hillary. But he kept on, hoping [...]

I got this announcement — which condemns NOW for letting Hillary down — from Dr. Lynette Long. Dr. Long, a dedicated supporter of Hillary Clinton who campaigned for John McCain in the general election contest, began the great No Quarter radio show on Monday nights. Due to illness, Dr. Long turned over the [...]

Susan’s Note: This is my idea of 21st century feminism. We speak out against all sexism and misogyny towards women of all political types, from Sarah Palin to Hillary Clinton and, yes, even Nancy Pelosi — when she is attacked. We don’t insist on a political litmus test before we’ll defend a woman, unlike [...]

There are 900,000 teen pregnancies annually (11-12% of all births in US).
22% of teen girls have been sexting (sending out nude or semi nude photos of themselves)
29% of single households led by women are below the poverty level (12% for
men).
Women represent 52% of the voters yet are only 17% of our government representation.
The US ranks [...]

I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds. Some of you may recall that John McCain asked for an extension to count votes in VA for absentee ballots requested by military personnel that [...]

Michelle Obama’s arms are transformational. They are representative of a new kind of woman: strong, vigorous, intelligent and loving. And they are a mother’s arms.
It’s bad enough that the Washington Post publishes the drivel of the sniveling, stuck-up snob,Sally Quinn, but that they’re actually featuring her ode to Michelle Obama’s arms — literally and metaphorically [...]

Here’s one for the feminists. It’s another tongue-in-cheek song from my musical $ucce$$! (now seeking a Broadway home). The song is sung by an Irish-Latino character named Juanita Fitzgerald. The lyrics are as follows:

As a liberal from way back, I must say, if anyone on the left allows themselves to be represented in thought or deed by the likes of Keith Olbermann and Village Voice’s Michael Musto, they really need to rethink their life choices. Jay Leno has also earned himself a spot [...]

Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Ani, mentioned this incredibly assholic, sexist, comment Jay Leno made at Secretary Clinton’s expense. Personally, I don’t care for Jay Leno anyway, but now I REALLY don’t care for him. The video is below (H/T to SusanUnPC for finding this for me), and the [...]

Okay, I admit it. I have been procrastinating writing up this post. No, it isn’t playing with the puppies (and I have found homes for at least one, if not two of them - yay!), though I have been enjoying their company. It’s not even the rain, much needed, that is falling. [...]

I want to let you know that as of Tuesday, 4/7, I will be on vacation in Europe for two weeks. I do not plan on posting anything during that time. As always, I refer you to my Blogroll, and to No Quarter, my home away from home.

This astonishing exchange is from March 30th’s Hardball with Chris Matthews. Matthews, who believes we live a “post-feminist” world, also believes in a world where women are objects of exchange, and flesh is for sale:
