A New Year Begins!!

And we're back! Kind of like how Ralph Nader won't stop - neither will me!

We began the year with a HUGE bang. Not only do we have an almost record number of first years attending the meetings, but we also have already done an intense volunteering session.

The Exec Board (and friends) decided to do "Day to Make a Difference" on 11 September at "Crayons to Cradles." This is a group which makes bags filled with not only shoes and cloths for children in need, but also toys - a much needed commodity. Here are a few pictures from our escapade - which happened to be extremely fun!

1/2 the group:


We got tired from all the work!


But overall it was great!

Pictures!!

The Wellesley College Dems are indeed a fabulous group of young women. Way to look classy, ladies! (specifically, doesn't Lauren Fink look especially gorgeous?!)

Thanks to Bri for the pictures!!

ADORABLE!!

We just had an absolutely adorable brunch in Tower Courtyard! Lots of fabulous first-years and new members and some equally excellent vittles provided from Wellesley's Bruegger's Bagels. Be jealous.

Pictures to come if de facto photographers email them to kkelley!

point for you

Democrats are hypocrites too

Hot Air

oooo such diversity, having an atheist on the same blog as a religious Republican and herself as a "conservative"

We should be proud. Talk about a lot of hot air...

The Mommy Wars

Yes. You are correct. Sarah Palin was criticized for not putting her family first when she was running for office. But Ms. Malkin, you should know that women all over the political spectrum got up and defended her, no matter how much they might disagree with Gov. Palin's political ideology.

I think you do know this. You're just choosing to ignore it because it doesn't support your argument.

talk about a hard sell

Apparently there is a "Liberal Feminist Establishment"?

Because I'm pretty sure women are still a minority on most avenues to power, and within that group, there is a decent mix of "liberals" and "conservatives"

addendum

Okay, liberals do like Keith Olberman and Huffington Post. For humor but we do read them nonetheless.

Use serious sources

I want to believe you Ms. Malkin, I really do.

But please, I beg of you, use sources which the rest of the country takes seriously when you're citing misogyny on the left. Gawker? Perez Hilton?

And defending tea bagging against "mean spirited attempts to deride it" in the context of gay marriage when the issue was taxes, and ignoring that there was some humor in the phrasing is just plain funny

Give me a break

Michelle Malkin's Self Professed Bait and Switch

So, rather then discussing the "Girls Gone Wild Culture," Ms. Malkin has decided to talk about misogyny on the left.

This will be good.

Not 5 minutes in, she is defending Sarah Palin and other "strong" women in the Republican party against a left which "just can't stand a minority which has betrayed its group" and has led to a "conservative female abuse"

She choose this topic because we're a women's college. And of course, after confirming that the majority of the audience identified as liberal, she continues on her ideological tirade that women should be exactly what Democrats want them to be. And it's the Democratic party's fault.

More to come from the liveblog of hte WC Democrats.

Misogyny exists in the world. And in the Democratic party. But let's put the blame where it belongs okay?
