Suck it, Ms. Magazine

No, THIS is what a feminist looks like.


"Investing in our common humanity through social development is not marginal to our foreign policy, but essential to the realization of our goals. More than 2 billion people worldwide live on less than two dollars a day. They’re facing rising food prices and widespread hunger.

We have to expand civil and political rights in countries that are plagued by poverty, hunger and disease, but our pleas will fall on deaf ears unless democracy actually improves people’s lives while weeding out the corruption that too often stands in the way of progress.

Our foreign policy must reflect our deep commitment to help millions of oppressed people around the world, and of particular concern to me is the plight of women and girls, who comprise the majority of the world’s unhealthy, unschooled, unfed, and unpaid. If half the world’s population remains vulnerable to economic, political, legal, and social marginalization, our hope of advancing democracy and prosperity is in serious jeopardy. The United States must remain an unequivocal and unwavering voice in support of women’s rights in every country on every continent."

Jackson v. Jackson


But Reverend Jackson, you're assuming the guy has any.
[***resists the urge to say, "you can borrow my tweezers exacto-knife, reverend."***]

The most offensive part of this family feud is that Junior is actually trying to make us think he's above making offensive comments.

Right. Junior would never do that.

A new kind of politics


Hope. Change. Greed.

Rendell, who plans to campaign on Obama's behalf and raise money for him, said tonight's event in Philadelphia is a joint fundraiser for Obama and the cash-strapped Democratic National Committee.

But in a sign of the urgency to raise campaign cash, Rendell said Obama didn't want to reschedule tonight's fundraiser, even though the governor warned him that many Philadelphia donors were headed to the New Jersey shore for the weekend. Rendell said Obama told him: "We don't need the people. We just need the checks."
