Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Tim's Geithner has gotta go, so get thee to PumaPac and seeWednesday, January 14, 2009 at 6:09 pm — admin
We intended to do an item on Tim (I-don't pay-taxes-but-want-to-spend-yours) Geithner tomorrow, but the WonderFul PumaPac has done it so nicely I can only send you to their site for this. They list digits to call to oppose Mr. G for Treasury Secretary--please do! Also Food for thought: Mr. Geithner was a voice for allowing Lehman Brothers to fail. One can spend time wondering about his motivations for that maneuver (A Tanked economy was just what Obama was ordering at the time, and lo and behold when Lehman failed, Obama's numbers rose above McCain's for the first time.) and if Geithner was counting on Lehman’s fail down to lift him to a cabinet position…but that is just food for thought. But now, now… we have REAL BEEF on Mr. Supercilious, NO taxes for me, G-man. So, nuff said: here is link to PumaPac's “Leave Now and Never Come Back!” Thanks to PumaPac! |

it is telling that all the
it is telling that all the comments fly when Hillary is topic of discussion, but Geitner for TSec - a guy who doesn't pay taxes stirs no passion. Hillary Hater (and Palin for that matter) spoke of entitlement gall of these women. what earned them this derision? going for it by elections. Geitner is so entitled he pays no taxes but that is not what gets people (men especially) into a frenzy.
entitlement frenzies are only for Caroline, Sarah, and Hillary.
Puma Pac Rocks. Obama was
Puma Pac Rocks. Obama was just on with smily Katie and said not paying taxes is a simple mistake. Ok then....guess that makes it OK for all of us. I have some spare change for you Mr. Obama--use it as my contribution to the bailout while i use the rest to hire Mr. G's housekeeper. snicker...
