The female candidates, commentators and influencers who matter--and provoke chatter--most.
The midterm elections are a week away, and this year an overwhelming number of female candidates, commentators and influencers are commanding the headlines, brashly driving the conversation and laboring to deliver who will control the Senate, the House and the future direction of the country.
The forces that put us in this position come in the form of various political baronesses and upstarts that make up this Top 25 Power Women of Elections 2010. A great many of these mighty women appear on Forbes' list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women, including Tea Party queenmaker Sarah Palin, First Lady Michelle Obama and Rachel Maddow, a cable news anchor with a beef against "extremists" in politics.
Yet the polarizing are, in some ways, those who matter most. Or at least provoke chatter most. Consider Mama Grizzly Sharron Angle, clawing at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's seat from Nevada and whose challenge to the incumbent is to "man up." Or contender for the U.S. Senate from Delaware, Christine O'Donnell, whose open ignorance or misreading of the First Amendment’s guarantee of separation of church and state--"You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?"--caused a 10-alarm fire on the airwaves and Internet.
Or Maureen Dowd, who coined the phrase "Mean Girls" of the midterms (talking about the Tea Party sorority), saying that they have replaced "Hope with Spite and Cool with Cold." Or the California governor's race, where Republican Meg Whitman was labeled a "whore" by her Democratic challenger's aide.

So if you have a pic that's huge, say 3000 X 2000, and you want to scale it down to 800 X 533, you just calculate a ratio and add a width and height to your img command.
Or I can do it if you like, no problem.
Bingo! Nail on the head.
8^D
Now, now... You’re just being one of those uppity women TV was talking about. Back to the kitchen with you. :/
You’re not supposed to know how to do manly stuff dontchaknow.
Oh, good grief. MO is #2. Take that however you want to.
GO, SARAH!!!!
Aww, don’t be so hard on the kid...he/she is prob in their dorm writing a paper on the “anthropological fact that all the currently observable matriarchies in the world are subsistence level”...
And just had to try it out somewhere.
I give such navel gazing....an epic FAIL.
Or just play with it like I do. :)
Well, it's not your knuckledragging misogynistic neurosis, and it's not your sophmoric pseudointellectual straw men challenges. Those are easily attributable to your being dropped as a child, which was hardly your fault.
But divorcing conservatism from Constitutionality is really inexcusable.
Piss off.
(((((YOU)))))
Kitchen is fine. I can cook too. I’m an old lady; I have lots of experience perforce.
I didn’t look beyond #1 = LOL.
“.... a country is pretty much doomed when the supposed conservatives are clamoring to be ruled by women.”
Somehow I get the impression that you prefer Gladiator movies.
First, we are not “ruled” in America... we are free and we will defend our freedom to the death or kill to remain free.
Last, women, women, women..... we would all be dead without them. There are some very strong and capable female leaders in our country, Palin is one of them.
So, I will choose a “leader” and will be pleased if it’s a woman.
You may choose to be “ruled” by old men, punks, perverts, criminals and even flaming faggots.... it’s your choice.
You don't have to calculate anything. If you just change the height or width alone, the other scales proportionately.
Oh dear.......LOL.
I can’t stop laughing.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Wow, thanks. I didn’t know that, and it makes scaling much easier.
Now I can really impress onyx, LOL!
You’re a really cool FRiend, T.
What planet are you from? No, not your specific address, just the name of your planet. We call ours earth.
WOW! She is movie star beautiful!!!! No wonder the elite nutcases hate her. Hee hee.
Oh, I thought I was your really cool friend.
LOLOLOL.
Woo-Hoo, maybe I can try 50mm’s recipe...lol.
Um, not yet.
Yes and jealous, envious women, too. *sigh*
As though she would be interested in their boyfriends or husbands.
