The World Economic Forum recently released the results of their study on the progress of attaining gender equity within countries, controlling for overall wealth disparities.

There has been a great deal of talk and debate about health care in the country recently as the Democrats push Heath Care Reform. A lot of animosity has been directed at the Health Insurance Industry as a whole. As it turns out, some is justified, but some is not. I was [...]

Faithful NQ reader, CG, mentioned recently that the Washington Post actually did a very nice article on Secretary Clinton’s recent trip to Africa. Well, you coulda knocked me over with a feather.

I know, not the kind of headline one might expect from me, to put it mildly. This is a quote from the following article, What women’s lib? 70 Percent Of Americans Think Women Should Take Spouse’s Name After Marriage. Say whaaa??

For a bit of a departure from politics, I get to write about my other two loves, baseball, and soccer (aka, football). First to baseball:

(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 - [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Is that all? Sigh - it seems like this has been going on forever. Maybe it’s just the MSM’s continued fawning over Obama, like yelling to the rafters what a HIGH poll number he has. Okay, it is more than half, but they are going this nuts over 56%? Seriously??? [...]

Our friend, “CheneyWatch” aka Truthtelling007 who’s adding some great videos to our NoQuarterUSA channel, found and posted this CNN report about Obama’s failures to take women’s issues seriously, and how unhappy many of his female supporters are.
