- A First Lady Whose Legacy Rivals Husband’s
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  She was a product and symbol of the cultural and political times — doing the bump along the corridors of the White House, donning a mood ring, chatting on her CB radio with the handle First Mama — a housewife who argued passionately for equal rights for women, a mother of four who mused about drugs, abortion and premarital sex aloud and without

- Gender Pay Gap, Once Narrowing, Is Stuck in Place
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  These trends suggest that all the recent high-profile achievements — the first female secretary of state, the first female lead anchor of a nightly newscast, the first female president of Princeton, and, next month, the first female speaker of the House — do not reflect what is happening to most women, researchers say.

- Wikipedia vs. Women
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  WikiChix was recently formed by women contributors sick of how male-dominated Wikipedia has become. The question their move raises is as old as feminism itself.

- As Vice Dragnet Recalls Bad Old Days, Chinese Cry Out
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  For people who saw the event on television earlier this month, the scene was like a chilling blast from a past that is 30 years distant: social outcasts and supposed criminals — in this case 100 or so prostitutes and a few pimps — paraded in front of a jeering crowd, their names revealed, and then driven away to jail without trial.

  Posted by Shemuses from The Tyee
  The often fatal dangers of the sex trade packed papers on both sides of the Atlantic last week as court officials parsed potential jurors for the Robert Pickton trial in New Westminster and the strangled bodies of five prostitutes were discovered in an English suburb.

The MILFy Way

Her politics of racism, hate, support for Big Oil, the Alaskan Independence Party, all make her as un-MILFY as is possible, for me. Add to that her bizarre religious practises, her lying at will, even her backstabbing of her Republican patron in Alaska, all make her so repulsive as a human being, she’s the quintessential MI (would never, ever, even if she was the last woman on earth)LF.

HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion

The media keeps referring to Bush as a ‘Lame Duck President’, but this is just the sort of damage to freedom that people can expect from the Bush/Cheney White House before a new president is sworn into office in January. They are expecting us to let down our guard.

HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion

I think we can expect an acceleration of unfathomable, unreasonable, unstomachable executive orders and administrative rulings in the final days of the Bush administration.
The Democratic Congress, elected to a majority in ‘06 to end the Iraq war, has taken a huge bet in not impeaching and not confronting Bush and the GOP agenda in order to keep approval numbers low enough for a sweep in November. It’s a huge doubling down – gambling with nothing less than our democracy.
