Carolyn Maloney: The Al Sharpton Of Gender Relations

I like Al. He is a good guy. He has made his effort. I credit him for that. He has done what he could. But we needed a Barack Obama to come along and take race relations in this country to a whole new level.

Similarly Carolyn Maloney should plot a gracious exit from the stage and let Reshma Saujani take gender relations in this country to a whole different level. Carolyn tried. She gets credit for trying, but it's time to move on.

Ed Koch And Carolyn Maloney: Bush Democrats



Panchatantra The Story of The Blue Jackal
One day when the blue jackal was holding court, he heard a gang of jackals howling. Thrilled by the sound of his own ilk, Kakudruma began loudly responding in his natural voice. The lions and other animals immediately recognized that their king was after all a jackal and not a Godsend.
I have been saying at this blog time and again that the essence of Maloney is that she is not a blue jackal, I mean she is a Bush Democrat. And today she proves me true. She howls.

Maloney voted for the Patriot Act that turned the entire country into one big Arizona. That was Maloney showing apartheid tendencies.

Summary Google News Search Blogsearch Twitter Search
  • Knocking on doors
  • Making phone calls
  • Handing out flyers at subway stops
  • Digital volunteering
They are similar to each other. They are all efforts to reach out to voters. If you think about it the digital methods are the most efficient in some ways and the cheapest. And they are the most scalable. Not all volunteers can show up at the campaign headquarters to make phone calls for a few hours every day, but all volunteers can go online on their own and do some digital volunteering.

No Country To Call My Own

Reshma is American. I am old enough to know I am never going to have a country of my own. Nepal was not it. America is not it. If America is the greatest country in the world, I hope there is a better planet out there somewhere, because I have not been particularly enamored of this country. If you situate yourself right, it is tolerable, but that's about it. India is heritage, it's not country.

Iran stands strong on my mental heat wave map right now. But that is political.

New York City is my playground. I have tried to think of it as a country, but it is not a country.

The Internet is the closest thing to a country I got.

Domestic Violence Can Be Ended Like Polio Could Be Cured

Pro choice progressive women in this town drive me nuts. They talk like their pro choice stand is the ceiling I have to bang my head against. The pro choice stand has to be a floor they stand on, they have to walk, jump and fly.

More women than men are graduating from colleges today. But the leadership structures in all sectors of society, in all the major institutions are still male and archaic.

Little expressions of attitude are relevant. Sexist jokes are weapons of attrition thrown at the self esteem of women.

Life experiences have to be shared experiences.

"Bill Clinton is a good husband to keep for 30 years because he does the dishes."
- Hillary Clinton


Obama Has No Business Kissing Maloney

The information age and the post-industrial society should make it more possible for people to strike better life-work balances.

"I can't think in front of a computer."
- Hillary Clinton


A new generation has to step in to kick the ball further down the road.

When the mass rapes were happening in Liberia I figured the women in this town, the pro choice women, might rise up in arms, but no, not a whisper.

The Anti Maloney Brigade

Barack Obama achieved JFK status as a candidate. He achieved FDR status after he passed health care reform. All other items like Wall Street reform and immigration reform keep him at the FDR level. If he wants to achieve Lincoln status, he is going to have to end the global trafficking of women the way Lincoln ended slavery.

The Anti Maloney Brigade

The Anti Maloney Brigade is an underground organization in New York City.

It meets in public places, around street corners, in parking lots, and in living rooms.

It talks in sweet whispers.
