427 A Few Good Women

Claire is a PhD student in 17th century studies who blogs her thoughts about gender, academe and the English language (her job that supports her studies, as near as I can tell). She works as a Language Centre Assistant, Durham University, cataloguing, digitalising and organising language materials which makes her sound a lot like a librarian (to me, anyway). She is British, but has worked in Italy and speaks fluent Italian.

Amy Ridenour works for a Washington DC think tank, The National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative/free-market public policy foundation located just a little bit north of the U.S. Senate. She blogs about “anything of interest to our staff and the many interesting people we work with and talk to.”

Today she comments that “I haven't actually counted the news articles, but it looks to me as though MoveOn.org's new ad about the swift boat veterans ad is getting more establishment media coverage than the swift boat veterans got when they unveiled their ad.” Now there’s a surprise.

Miss Apropos is a “Navy granddaughter, an Army brat, an Air Force spouse, and a Marine Mom.” Woman, I salute you! On August 16 she posted this, which she found here and probably defines her politics:
. .
Here is a perfect way to start your day.

1. Open a new file in your PC.
2. Name it "John Kerry."
3. Send it to the trash.
4. Empty the trash.
5. Your PC will ask you, "do you really want to get rid of John Kerry?"
6. Answer calmly, "yes," and press the mouse button firmly.
7. Feel better don't you?

It could work, she says, for "Michael Moore," "The United Nations," "Madonna," "[Insert First Name Here] Baldwin," ohhh, the list is ENDLESS!

Ambra is a very young black, conservative Christian who yesterday blogged about the “Oreo Barbie” that was recalled (she thought that marketing team should be fired.) She’s written a long three-parter on “Why I am a Republican.”

I'll write more later. Have to run to art class.
