http://frailgestures.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
So Maureen Dowd writes in Sunday's New York Times Magazine. About women's changing role as sexual creatures. Dowd, in "What's a Girl to Do? But later, she makes my skin crawl just a little bit, opining on perfectly intelligent, outspoken women. Quote Dowd:. Speaking of alpha males, President Bush today nominated Samuel Alito to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. Alito is the clearly conservative, experienced, anti-abortion rights jurist evangelicals demanded. As a judge on the 3rd ...What ...

To give you an idea of the awesome cold that is Albany in February - clearly my time in the District has spoiled me - check out the photo. It dropped another 6 degrees that night, and with the windchill it was -1F. (The rest of my photos are on my camera as are some month-old shots of the panda cub. I don't motivate easily on such things.). While I was there, I bought a sequel of Pride and Prejudice. On the evolution of the English language that I'm reading too. Speaking of less-than-fine literature, I p...

frail gestures: Post-Mortem
http://frailgestures.blogspot.com/2006/02/post-mortem.html
My boss pointed out how much more attention the death of Corretta Scott King has gotten in comparison to Betty Friedan's. Certainly, King deserves the honors bestowed upon her, but why doesn't an revolutionary like Friedan? I hope he doesn't mind being quoted:. There is a lesser awareness of the women's movement than of the civil rights movement that brought racial politics to the forefront. I think that is for several reasons:. Posted by even the rain @ 00:26. Betty Friedan started her own movement....

Went to the Alito hearing today. The following actually happened as he and Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., were discussing judicial precedent:.

The Luck Of The Irish. No, I don't know how to rotate this Quicktime movie.). I have been informed that I am a rather slow-to-post blogger. But to that I say, "Ptew! Seriously, though, it's mostly that there isn't much I want to recant on a public site just now. Perhaps I picked the wrong forum to express my thoughts? On a lighter note, spring has sprung and the trees here are draped in small buds. I keep thinking, "CHERRY BLOSSOMS! More soon. Probably. Posted by even the rain @ 22:37.

I'm From New Jersey. I had to share this . New Jersey's state song . I'm From New Jersey. Written and Music by Red Mascara. I know of a state that's a perfect playland with white sandy beaches by the sea;. With fun-filled mountains, lakes and parks, and folks with hospitality;. With historic towns where battles were fought, and presidents have made their home;. And I toast and tout it wherever I may roam. 'Cause . . . I'M FROM NEW JERSEY and I'm proud about it, I love the. But I wouldn't want another,.

frail gestures: Bye, Bye Betty
http://frailgestures.blogspot.com/2006/02/bye-bye-betty.html
Bye, Bye Betty. Betty Friedan died. I had long meant to writer her a letter. When I read The Feminine Mystique. In what I suppose must have unintentionally coincided with Friedan's death, teacher Deborah M. Hoffman wrote. In Sunday's Washington Post. That society's low expectations for boys' and mens' behavior does them and women a disservice. In her piece, "What Does 'Boys Will Be Boys' Really Mean" she writes:. So much for the all-to-widely held belief that the women's movement is passe.
