Good Day to you Ladies!

Today marks a couple of anniversaries that ought to make you as proud as punch.

In 1935 Amelia Earhart Earhart single-handedly conquered the Pacific Ocean by flying from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Oakland, California. And in 1932, Mrs. Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate.

As the Virginia Slims singers used to put it in that cigarette commercial jingle: “You’ve come a long way Baby to get where you’ve got to today!”

Yep. You’ve got your own cigarette now ladies - not that it matters because the high art of smoking is being systematically stomped out by our modern nanny state. But that’s beside the point.

Today women can look back from the heights reached by Tammy Duckworth, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin,  Condoleezza Rice, and Rosie O’Donnell and say:

“Yes, we’ve come a long, long way.”
