Sweet concessions
Q. Where does a polar bear vote?
A. The North Poll.
I’ve been so busy reading concession speeches I haven’t had a chance to blog in. Or something like that. It certainly is one of those historically significant moments. Not necessarily about the change in power–because right now the dems are talking bipartisanship, but who knows how the rhetoric will be after a decade of power? We all have seen how power corrupts. Up close and personal. No, it’s not that….it’s the moment where Nancy Pelosi becomes the first female to be Speaker of the House. Hey, we’re in the 2000s and we’re just now letting women get into the powerful seats? Depressing that it took so long, but exhilarating that it might finally happen.
The Russians have a saying and here’s my loose translation: “The man is the head of the family, but the woman is the neck.” Basically, whatever she wants him to look at is what he will look at. Well, I say it’s time for the men to step back and let the women lead. After all, look at that mess we’re in! If you think I’m a feminist, you’re wrong. I’m a realist. And you can take that to the polls, baby.
