Why Women Should Rule the World

In a moment of weakness I bought this book by Dee Dee Myers the last time I was at Costco. I started it the other day and now I'm subjecting Darr to my constant chatter, "Darr, listen to this <insert interesting tidbit here>," as I read along. Poor guy.

I'm not sure this is the correct venue, but I'm sorry to say that your Ms. Clinton is an exemplar for why this should not be (exclusively) so:

“It’s so close, and I think that says a lot about how excited and passionate our supporters are,” she said. “But I can assure you, as I’ve said on many occasions, no matter what happens I will work for the nominee of the Democratic Party.”

This on top of starting the legal wrangle as to whether Michigan et al. should count -- changing the rules ex-post-facto is a clear turn-off to voters (at least this voter).

BTW -- I expect Mssr. Henry to be able to articulate, "quid pro quo" before 24 months, or your schooling will be remiss.

"Changing the rules," eh? How is Clinton changing the rules when the previous instances involving states that were "punished" by the DNC have the DNC eventually seating those delegates rather than risk disenfranchising an entire state's worth of voters in the following election?

The system we have was set up by men for men. I'm not going to fault the first woman who comes along with a shot of winning who uses every means at her disposal to win.

The book so far is great. It discusses how men and women are different. How women who make it to the top (or darn close) are treated - sort of a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. If I can get Darr to read it, I will. Although, really, by the time I'm done with it, Darr will have heard the majority of it anyway.

What makes you think Henry doesn't already know "quid pro quo"? :)
