Me Too! Endorsing Hillary Clinton

-

"Women have come so far as feminists that they don't feel obligated to vote for a candidate just because she's a woman. Women today feel perfectly free to make whatever choice Oprah tells them to."

The idea that women have to be bitches to be successful is a slap in the face to all women. Tina Fey is trying to be funny, but her comments only reinforce a stereotype that has held women back for years in the workplace. Maybe women need to be problem solvers to get things done, not bitches.

I saw this last night, and I had an entirely different take on it than anonymous. I thought it was making fun of the fact that HC is being judged not for her political skills but for her status as universal bitch. I can't ever think of a male candidate that has been labeled by the country and the press as the world's biggest asshole or bastard.

Woo hoo! This got me all excited again. . . like I was after New Hampshire. Sigh. . . those halcyon days when I felt like women everywhere were kickin' it.

I won't give up the dream yet. I won't!

And Mrs. G., you're absolutely right. George W. Bush wasn't labeled as the world's biggest asshole until long after he became president. At least he was given a chance!

I heart Tina Fey.

I love Tina Fey...and her entire show rocked. I was so glad she spoke out for Hillary...I'm tired of all the Obama fanaticism...it make me nervous.

I, too, saw Tina Fey, last night. She was terrific, and her comments about Hilary were RIGHT ON! She was SO making fun of the fact that she is judged for being a woman rather than a bright, intelligent political person.

I am in agreement with Poet on the Obama fascination. Makes me a bit wary too.

Yes, they do say that about McCain, don't they? And if NBC doesn't come out with t-shirts within a week, they're fools! I want a black t-shirt with a nice font.

I would not vote McCain for dog catcher.If he gets elected it will be another 4 years of business as usual and the country goes further in debt.
You can say all the negitive crap you like about Bill Clinton.Just remember he gave the bush white house a ballanced budget and little or no debt to speak of. So what happened in the last 7 years,we owe more money that can be posssibly paid off in our lifetime,hell maybe be in ouir childrens life time as well our greandchildren will still be paying off the deficite.

Excerpt from student paper today: Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize. At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?" Oh yes. And it gets better! Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree...

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

-
Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

First comes love. . .

Then comes doing our level best to destroy the family. Susan and I sat cross-legged on our bed last night and swore our undying love for one another. No witnesses, no music, no officials; just two happy gals staring into one another's eyes. I am very happy. It's funny, wearing this ring has made me a little self-conscious; I spent the day feeling like I had a neon sign on my forehead that said, "Look at my finger!" My office mate Mark said he felt the same way after he got married. Symbols are powerful things for English majors. Now if only I could claim her on my health insurance. "We learn to love by loving."
