Some feeble attempts at compromise, undermined by threats at a hastily-called news conference around 5 today. Geez, the President must be the world’s most inept negotiator ever. Or, he’s getting really bad advice from some folk with some seriously heavy baggage.

So we’re getting down to Saturday, Sunday and Monday…back to the rhyme

On the eighth and ninth days of Christmas,
My True Love Gave to Me..
Eight Maids a Milking

and

Nine Ladies Dancing.

So it’s the female contribution – have we heard from any females on this topic? Nope…guess it takes someone submissive to successfully get herself elected to the House of Representatives or the Senate of the United States of America. Otherwise, you scare those dudes…

Reminds me of that scene in Lincoln when the opposition is suggesting that next, the President will want to ‘enfranchise’ black men. Oh, my! But the biggest reaction he got? When he suggested that such insanity could lead to the notion that the men should allow women to vote! That virtually brought the house down!

So, despite years of progress, we’ve still got a long way to go.
