Rhode Island gubernatorial candidates from left, Independent Lincoln Chafee, Moderate Party Ken Block, Republican John Robitaille, and Democrat Frank Caprio, gather together to sign a pledge to appoint more women to public sector positions, Thursday, Oct. 21, 2010, in Providence, R.I. Photo: Stew Milne / AP
You can read the accompanying article, 4 Rhode Island Governor Hopefuls Pledge To Appoint Women to Jobs, here. But seriously, folks. How bad is gender discrimination and diving for votes when, as a gubernatorial candidate, in New England no less, you have to pledge to appoint women? Like it’s a brand new discovery that women can, you know, lead.

"Shut up b***hes?" from Dell event emcee? Really?
I’ve had this attempted against me in different but equally wrong ways. So not happening.
