| Today the Senate will make history, swearing in a record-breaking 20 female senators – 4 Republicans and 16 Democrats – in office. As the 113th Congress is sworn in today on Capitol Hill, ABC "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer has an exclusive joint interview with the historic class of female Senators. Diane Sawyer´s complete interview will air on World News this evening. "I can´t tell you the joy that I feel in my heart to look at these 20 gifted and talented women from two different parties, different zip codes

Comments: FTA "...that women´s styles tend to be more collaborative," You see, men are different than women. Except when they´re not. And don´t you dare mention it. That is sexist. But then women are "less confrontational" except when they are not. I love the logic of women!

SAid to my wife this morning; and lived to tell y´all about it- that we made two mistakes in America:
We chose not to harvest our own crops.
We thought that women could handle the repsonsibility of voting.
Wrong, wrong wrong...........present company excepted of course but if I had to sacrifice your vote to regain the America we all knew and love I´d do it in a heartbeat.

Well, as angry as we all are at congress, perhaps realizing that these men will have to deal with all these women pmsing at the same time will be some comfort.

Seriously? Why don´t we judge these women on their performance rather than their gender. I have a feeling that these women have more cajones than some of the GOP men.

Pardon my overt sexism but why is this a news story? What is is about women that everytime they do anything, they want special recognition?
Unless, of course, it involves staying home and raising their children.
The democrats are rapidly destroying our country and ABC is crowing about the number of women in the Senate. God what an awful organization ABC is. Aptly named writer, too, Sullen.

Query: What makes conservative women so intelligent and liberal women so blasted stupid (especially the purportedly "book smart" ones with "Professor" in front of their names. See, e.g., Warren, Elizabeth)?
I demand answers.

"... more collaborative," Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said by nature women are "less confrontational."
Sen-elect Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, says that women are "problem solvers."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., says that women have a camaraderie which helps in relationships that are key to negotiations on Capitol Hill, something she says comes natural to women more than men.
Uh huh, oh yeah, you betcha, sure thing, without a doubt, no question about it, whatever you say, dear. [Did I just arrive from Mars or am I to disregard everything I´ve observed since the first day 60 years ago when I first attended co-ed kindergarten?]

You watch. It´ll come down to the pants vs. the skirts as gals have taken to heart "save the women and children!" leaving men on deck to sink with the ship. Men are inferior wastrels after all, no? Animals-- deserving of uproarious crotch-kicks.

Cat fights, cliques, snubbing, back-stabbing. Yeah, girls get along great. Maybe not as overt and violent as the males, but it´s still there. I´ll be glad when we stop having this all "historic" nonsense. Wait, what, it´s not ever going to stop? (sigh)

I agree that it´s too bad that after all these years a story like this is still news.
I am, however, glad to see some Republican faces among the female Senators. Let´s hope they indeed have the cajones (as #4 says) to keep their lefty sisters´ ideas in check.

Does this mean they will stop blaming white men for all the problems in the world? Does this mean when they do the same thing they usually do (women certainly haven´t proven to be effective in cutting spending, just the opposite) that the Kneepad media will put the blame on them and not the men? Does this mean that the killing spree in Chicago will suddenly stop? Does this mean that the welfare state will suddenly come under control? Will unlimited unemployment welfare stop? Of course not. All this means is we have a new set of incompetents with no desire or intent to actually goobern.

It´s not their gender that matters, it´s their policies and their ability to lead. I´d take 100 Margaret Thatchers in our Senate over one moderate male RINO.

I attended a Pennsylvania Bar Institute training session in 1980, the only non lawyer present. And during the lunch break, I sat with several female and male lawyers. We had a discussion about the increase of women practicing law, and I offered the comment that with more women attorneys, perhaps legal conflicts, especially divorce proceedings, would become more gentle. A woman lawyer glared at me, and said that when she represents a woman in a divorce proceeding, she will rip off the husband´s testicles to win. I stopped talking.

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is tuning out the "chirpers" in the Republican Party -- the critics on his right who disagree with his push for a comprehensive immigration bill. If Bush decides on a 2016 White House bid, the son and brother of two presidents said in an interview this weekend that it will be a campaign based on his two terms as governor. "It will be based on what I believe and it will be based on my record," Bush told the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN).

ROME — For years, perhaps even centuries, it has been an open secret in Rome: That some prelates in the Vatican hierarchy are gay. But the whispers were amplified this week when Pope Francis himself, in a private audience, appears to have acknowledged what he called a “gay lobby” operating inside the Vatican, vying for power and influence. The remarks — which the Vatican spokesman did not deny and the participants at the private audience confirmed — appeared to be part of an effort by the pope to take on the entrenched interests in the Vatican

MEDFORD, Mass. — JUNE 11, 1963, may not be a widely recognized date these days, but it might have been the single most important day in civil rights history. That morning, Gov. George Wallace, in an effort to block the integration of the University of Alabama, made his futile “stand at the schoolhouse door.” That evening, Boston N.A.A.C.P. leaders engaged in their first public confrontation with Louise Day Hicks, the chairwoman of the Boston School Committee, over de facto public school segregation, beginning a decade-long struggle that would boil over into spectacular violence during the early 1970s.

ALBANY, N.Y.— An abortion battle could be brewing in Albany, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to propose a major change to abortion laws in New York State. CBS 2 has learned that Cuomo will introduce a bill on Tuesday that would allow abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy to protect a woman’s health. The bill would fall in line with federal law. Currently, New York State only allows late-term abortions if a woman’s life is at risk. Planned Parenthood outlined a 2009 bill with reportedly similar goals. The 2009 Reproductive Health Act would “guarantee a woman

Violence surged like the mercury Sunday, with three more fatalities from gun violence — and eight others wounded in shootings — bringing the total number of bullet-riddled in the city to 25 in less than 48 hours. Only Staten Island was safe from the wide-ranging spray of gunfire and sickening weekend bloodshed. At least 12 people were blasted in Brooklyn, eight in the Bronx and another four in Queens. The sole person shot in Manhattan took several slugs to the chest and perished in broad daylight. Sunday’s first fatality was Ivan Martinez, 21, who

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — Boosting education standards and crafting an immigration policy that recognizes the valuable role newcomers play in creating jobs is essential to long-term economic growth, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday. Speaking to Michigan business and government leaders on this Lake Huron resort island, Bush said the “right to rise” socially and economically is part of the fabric of American citizenship but has become frayed as too few students leave high school ready for college or a career. “We’re not rising to the challenge,” he said. “It is shameful.

CHICAGO — Perhaps it is nothing more than an accident of timing that as federal workers brace for a summer filled with unpaid furlough days, their leaders are traveling the nation and globe on trips that exude luxury. On Wednesday, President Obama left the White House for two Chicago fund-raisers in the hope of helping Democrats retake the House in next year’s elections. The cost of flying aboard Air Force One to his hometown: $180,000 per hour. The same day, Michelle Obama traveled to Massachusetts to lunch with rich donors who had paid up to $37,600 per ticket

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”
