No.
Hey, if you don’t like the answer, folks, it’s time for a little soul searching.
In her article, The Glass Ceiling Holds Strong, the always en pointe WaPo writer Marie Cocco tells us:
It is time to stop kidding ourselves. This wasn’t a breakthrough year for American women in politics. It was a brutal one.
The glass [...]

I received this email from the Hillary Clinton campaign on Wednesday:
Dear Amy,
We are living in a very special time in American history, with an election that has redefined the boundaries of possibility and set our nation on a positive path with new leadership.
Things are changing in Washington and we have reason to hope that the [...]

Yes, this is dated insofar as the election had not yet happened when this speech was given, but much of what Dee Dee Myers has to say is quite relevant today. As Senator Clinton is “vetted” (just spare me already about the whole vetting thing. I have one word to say about this: [...]

Is health care something you’re paying attention to? Is it a concern or problem or a nightmare for you? Well, here is something interesting. The NYT has a piece today saying the two major trade associations for health care providers say their membership is willing to cover everyone.
Everyone - even those with [...]

Oh, boy - this is quite some article by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post (H/T to athy at No Quarter for this article). He really tells it like it is. I wonder if he still has a job there? Just the title alone gives it away: “A Giddy Sense of Boosterism.”

This notion I’m hearing that Hillary should have taken on her Party and perhaps lead an independent movement—please, get a grip. It’s just not who she is. We need to see and respect that. We aren’t serving our long-term interests when we do what women too often do with women leaders: project an unrealistic image, [...]

This is the second part of Artemis March’s excellent piece on “Anatomy of a Divider: Why Obama Cannot Unify,” originally published at www.lynettelong.com. If you missed the first one, you can read it HERE.
The Grandiose Self conflates not only his real and fantasy selves, but also self and other. He appropriates people’s goodies as [...]
