No Woman President

Today's Rochester Democrat & Chronicle had this final say about whether or not we should have a woman president: 

"I believe that whoever our next president is, it should not be a female. Women should not represent us on an international level. American culture can accept it; other cultures cannot."

There you go!  And it was written by a man, of course.

The Day After Iowa

I must admit that I am very surprised that Hillary came in third in the Iowa Caucuses. Based on reports of pre-caucus polls I had steeled myself for her to lose to Barack but not by so much. So here are the three thoughts that I use to console myself:  1) Hillary is a big girl, can take care of herself and doesn't need me to feel sorry for her, 2) the race is far from over and 3) you know if Barack can bring in so many young people and independents maybe he's not such a bad thing (but I'm in no way throwing in the towel on Hillary).
