Today, from The Black Table:
"Tomorrow you can treat us like shit, but today, today is Women's Equality Day. At the behest of millinery marvel Bella Abzug (D-N.Y.), Congress dedicated the day in 1971 to commemorate the 1920 passage of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote, and granted pollsters the right to invent monikers like 'Soccer Mom.'

Troublingly, though, we live in a time when -- word is -- single women are not so inspired to vote at all, which is truly strange considering the choice is between the new guy with the excellent wife and four more years of the Handmaid's Tale."

INCOMING! AUGUST 23, 2004. (Thursday)
