Palin: A Hollow Overture

Okay, I’m back in the blogging saddle. How about that McCain veep pick? Gotta love how the GOP suddenly embraces women when politically expedient (see also their sudden concern for Muslim women). I’m hoping Hillary speaks out loud and clear that Palin is not an adequate "replacement." I think she will; it’s just a matter of when.

My understanding is that Palin’s positions are largely the inverse of Hillary’s. As others have said before me, it’s high time we started making a distinction between being a woman and being for women’s equality.

Free news is good news!

Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
