And they call it.... news?

Nothing better to report here.

If this is feminism, I want my dues back!!!


Jonathan Bernstein of the Washington Post and anyone else that mistook the President's complement as anything other than a complement to Attorney General Kamala Harris must not have anything real to report about.  Seriously?  This is all you have to report for news?!  You have nothing better to report on that interests the People?  I don't think I'll have time to ever read Mr. Bernstein's blog or column ever again.  It has turned to such fodder and crap.  Sheesh!

And, in regards to Irin Carmon... I can hardly believe now that she was named one of Forbes’ 30 under 30 in media AND featured in New York magazine as a face of young feminism.... as a face of young feminism?!  Do tell. <<<said dripping in sarcasm>>>     Her comment that “This is hardly the first time Obama has been smarmily sexist under the guise of paying a compliment," is just plain sexist... yep, sexist.  No, Irin Carmon, I won't burn my bra under your immature flag.

If Ms. Harris didn't want her looks commented upon or to excel in her professional position, then she would not dress the way nor care for her appearance as she does.  Unfortunately for women it is a side effect of getting ahead in the professional arena.  If we don't look nice doing it all, then someone thinks that there is something wrong with us and we don't deserve to move up.  What utter bull crap!

Here's the thing.   Just as Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did... she did it all while going backwards and in high heels... and she looked damn fine doing it!  So, too does Kamala Harris!  She is the epitome of a professional woman.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with telling someone that they look nice.  I don't care what the setting a compliment is a compliment no matter how much you want to play the semantics game.  As long as Obama wasn't leering at her with saliva dripping off his chin and groping her, then I'm pretty danged sure that it was just simply that... a complement.  I think that one has to look at the intent here.  There was nothing "smarmily sexist" whatsoever about his compliment... it's just somebody trying to justify themselves with nothing better to report on other than their own sexist opinion.

I said all of this... took my time to respond to all of this crap... BECAUSE I AM SICK OF SO MUCH DRIVEL !!!  It's clogging up my news channels and obscuring serious issues that we need reported on.  Something like this tells me that somebody is simply trying to justify that they even have a job... but they are just grasping at straws at that.

And, just what is it about ME that qualifies ME to even blog crap about crap?!  Well, I have an opinion just like they do.  :-)
