chicken wings with t & a

I once heard someone say that the true measure of equality was when a black man was allowed to fail. In other words, he could fail simply because he was just another human being, and not have it blamed on his being black.

On the same train of thought, I suppose I should look at the Republican's female veep nomination as a measure of equity in that she is just another ultra-conservative, evangelical, pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps asshole, and it has nothing to do with her being female. Not.

The prevailing perception about how Democrats need to battle her "softly," because it will appear too harsh an attack on a "woman" makes me urp. It lets me know that double standards are still firmly in place, and that females remain quite willing to use whichever trait proves most expeditious (and yes I do admit that this is a response born of necessity---but may not serve us in the long run.)
