There is lots going on in the news. I’d like to touch on just a few of the stories, and you can feel free to add your own in the Comments. So here it is, the good, the bad, the ugly, and a return to the good. As Bronwyn reported yesterday, my governor, Nikki Haley, [...]

Amazingly, Occupy Wall Street continues to be in the news, though not quite so positively now as more violence erupts in major cities. Not to mention the sexual assaults by OWS men against OWS women coming to light despite the attempts by OWS people to cover it up. Indeed, the polls are showing people are [...]

Debra Saunders had a disturbing piece up at the San Francisco Chronicle recently. In the midst of all of the haggling, blaming, and name calling going on at the Hill, this may not seem like an exciting, gotcha kind of story, but it is an important one, and highlights a situation that will have a [...]

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time. This love-hate relationship long precedes the September 11th attacks. The last [...]

On Monday, June 6th, while Congressman Weiner finally admitted he is a big fat lying pervert with no morals or sense of decency, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Title IX. To celebrate Women in Sports, especially with the Women’s World Cup (soccer) coming up this summer, Secretary Clinton delivered [...]

This headline caught my eye, and disgusted me, all at the same time, “Egyptian General Admits ‘Virginity Checks’ Performed On Some Protesters.” As one would deduce, the headline means WOMEN protesters. This is disturbing on so many levels, not the least of which how women continue to be treated. At first there were denials that [...]

By now, I am sure everyone has heard about the alleged rape of a Sofitel maid in Manhattan by IMF leader, Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Strauss-Kahn is currently being held at Riker’s Island, in New York. The list of charges against him include first degree rape, and kidnapping. He’s in a boatload of trouble, and finally resigned [...]

* Bumped Up From April 29th * (so that we may discuss Logan’s interview on “60 Minutes” tonight) Lara Logan, the CBS “60 Minutes” reporter who was brutally assaulted in Egypt back in February, has given an interview to one of her “60 Minutes” colleagues, to be aired on May 1, 2011. You may recall [...]

I freely admit, I did not see this one coming. My friend and fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, shared the following article with me, most appropos for bringing to an end Women’s History Month. And that would be this Bloomberg article, Saudi Women Inspired by Fall of Mubarak Step Up Equality Demand. Wow, right? Honestly, [...]

After forcing out Mubarak as leader of Egypt, Egyptians held a vote on Sunday on a number of different amendments and changes. One of the issues on which the people voted was whether or not to have speedy elections. The people have spoken, and the answer is: yes. Yes, they do want speedy elections. Here’s [...]

I wrote this two years ago after International Women’s Day (which was Tuesday, the 100th such celebration). I have written about women in Afghanistan recently, and this one also looks at women there, and other countries, as well. We are all connected, each and every one of us. As long as women and girls are [...]

Recently, faithful NQ Reader, Cindy, asked that I reprint this post from last year. Since it is Women’s History Month, this seems like an appropriate time to do so. I have not seen recent poll numbers for Secretary Clinton, but other than that, the numbers remain in the same ballpark, sadly. One day, I hope [...]

Particularly, about the Taliban in Afghanistan and how it treats women. Now, I realize this might just seem like an “out of the clear blue sky” kinda thing, but trust me when I tell you it is not. (Photo by Steve Evans) First, I should say that before the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, [...]

More and more information is coming out about the treatment women reporters in Egypt have been enduring for some time now. The horrendous attack on Lara Logan seems to have opened the floodgates for other women journalists to acknowledge with what they have been dealing for years now. That many of them felt they had [...]

* Bumped Up * (This is a critical issue, written in Reverend Amy’s gifted language, that all of us as citizens must focus upon and demand that strong measures be taken to bring this unspeakable behavior to an end. – Bronwyn) No, I don’t mean whatever flu or cold this is going around right now.
