"Women share with men the need for personal success, even the taste for power, and no longer are we willing to satisfy those needs through the achievements of surrogates, whether husbands, children or merely role models."
- Senator Elizabeth Dole
Forbes magazine's list of the "400 Richest People in America" held a surprise this year. The richest women, who generally earned and didn't inherit their wealth, now have more money than the richest men:
"For the first time since its inception in 1982, women on the Forbes list of the '400 Richest People in America' topped men in average net worth..."
I've been noticing my wife's checking account always has more money in it than mine. Wonder if she's been talking with any of these ladies?
Donald J. Devine has more about the attacks on Rumsfield:
"...he has become the target not only of the doves in the Democratic Party but also the make-the-world-safe-for-democracy hawks in the administration and among outside opinion leaders."
I like what I see in Rumsfield and think he's doing yeoman's duty in a role that may be the toughest in the administration. I think it would be a great loss to the country if he doesn't survive.
Bush is fighting back. C.K. Rairden says:
"...news anchor Peter Jennings has been in a huff ever since President Bush snubbed his network and the rest of the elite media by taking his story directly to the American people on Monday."
I think the President is weary of the media's biased coverage of the war in Iraq and has decided to make an end run. Will it work? As much as the public distrusts the media, possibly.
