The WITCH and O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly vs. The Women's Media Center

The WMC Demands an Apology from O'Reilly for Helen Thomas (witch) Insult

The Women’s Media Center was founded in 2005 as a non-profit progressive women's media organization by writers/activists Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem

Robin Morgan
During the 1960s, she participated in the civil rights and anti-war movements; in the late 1960s she was a founding member of radical feminist organizations such as New York Radical Women and W.I.T.C.H.. She also founded the Women's Media Center

Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell, shortened W.I.T.C.H.
Members of W.I.T.C.H. included Robin Morgan, a child television star in the 1950s and a member of the Youth International Party in the late 1960s, Florika, Peggy Dobbins, and Naomi Jaffe, who went on to join the Weather Underground Organization (Brownmiller 1999, 49). Soon after the breakup of W.I.T.C.H., Robin Morgan repudiated her New Left-aligned politics, and embraced a kind of radical feminism that was strongly opposed to "the male left".

Question of the moment?
Obama ended his tribute speech at the Lincoln Memorial today with a kiss for Pelosi.
Why does a President kiss the Speaker of the House? Should not the same consideration be given to the Vice-President? Is it discrimination?

Urgent Call to 'Buy Local'

Job developer Michael Shuman seeks to rebuild struggling communities with home-grown businesses.

For the past five years, Shuman has been barnstorming across the United States, preaching the gospel of economic "localism." It's an appeal to community values as well as economic self-interest, a call to support locally owned businesses that don't outsource, don't pack up their businesses and leave on a moment's notice, and who recycle their customers' dollars back into the community.

"In the current economic downturn, Americans are beginning to understand that their future prosperity lies in the community businesses down the street that employ their neighbors, pay the taxes, and promote local relationships and trust."
