That was fun and the next time I am a guest on the show I will bring my camcorder and tape it for editing and posting here&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Women and power is a long-time rant of mine and each time I talk about the subject, more ideas come up &#8211; that happened on the air as well &#8211; in addition to the great call-ins from listeners!<\/p>\n<p>But today my angriest rants are for those &#8220;d&#8221; people in congress who no longer represent us &#8211; only their own interests!<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi &#8211; will be at a fund raiser for Al Wynn &#8211; a &#8220;d&#8221; who pretty predictably votes with the shrub!

Because a people powered movement is backing Donna Edwards &#8211; a real &#8220;D&#8221; and Pelosi is apparently not happy with democratic processes.<\/p>\n<p>Next we have Shumer and Feinstein who say they will vote for the nomination of Mukasey for AG &#8211; the guy who can&#8217;t say if waterboarding is torture and who believes mad king george can do as he wishes &#8211; and the constitution be damned!<\/p>\n<p>With &#8220;d&#8221; people like these &#8211; it makes me sad&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The art show is over and I am slowly catching up on the parts of life that got put on hold while getting ready for the show.
