Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wants us to know she's mad - angry, outraged, even - that her Senate colleagues didn't pass her Paycheck Fairness Act today. The bill failed to gain cloture by a vote of 53 to 44.
"I'll tell you what I'm tired of hearing," she yelled, "that somehow or other we're too emotional when we talk."
"To simply get a bill on the Senate floor, we have to vote on a motion to proceed on whether we're going to take it up. And because this is now going to take a 60 vote majority, because of the invocation of this fog of filibuster, we can't even get to majority vote to make sure women get equal pay for equal work!"

I’d be volcanically angry too, if I were that stinkin’ ugly.

Don’t get all wee wee’d up, Barb. It could be worse. You could be drawing slave wages at the White Hut.

"I'll tell you what I'm tired of hearing," she yelled, "that somehow or other we're too emotional when we talk." Well, Babs, here's a clue: Try not to BE too emotional when you talk, and you'll quit hearing about it. It's just like the "bossy" thing. Girls (and you certainly show no more maturity than a little girl, Babs) who get called "bossy" usually ARE bossy. Quit with the bad behavior, and you'll quit hearing the derogatory descriptions of your bad behavior.

There is empirical evidence that this is a non-issue.
Here it is:
Where are the women-owned businesses that only hire women in order to get the 23% competitive payroll advantage over any other business that hires men?

If Bulldozer Babs ever explodes from anger, the Hazmat cleanup will take months. Mere pressure washing won’t cut it.

The more I hear the lawmakers from MD, CT, CA, IL, NY, MA, NJ, etc. talk, the more I am convinced that my state should not be in the same union with states that elect freaks like this.

I’d pay $5 to see that fat skank explode like “Mr Creosote”.

And I only said “women-owned” because libs are so dense that they believe that a male owned business would forego that 23% competitive advantage in order to discriminate against women.
