CONGRATULATIONS WOMEN ON YOUR EQUALITY!from Sen. Joyce M. Broadsword (R-Sagle)
Now that we're like so totally equal with men, what the the election of a woman president . . . um I mean with another appointment of a woman to be Secretary of State, and since we hold all those seats on the State Supreme Court (-2 since the '90s) it's time to eliminate the State Women's Commission and save the $31,000 it costs to run it for a year. Good work, Ladies!
Sigh. Now if we could only raise the lowly potato to equality amongst all tubers and raise up those beans, peas and lentils to the level of all the other legumes, we could get rid of those commissions too and really save some money.
Yours in equality, Joyce.
