Hard to believe it’s time for the month-end retrospective. So here’s March items you’ve been missing if you haven’t read ShortWoman for the last 5 years:
In 2004 I was talking about the Daddy Knows Best paternalism of the Bush era GOP.
In 2005 I had a lot to say about bankruptcy “reform”. These “reforms” put corporate interests above consumer protections, and probably contributed to our current credit and mortgage crisis. Interestingly enough, we have news that Congress is finally talking about reigning in some credit card abuses.
In 2006 I wrote about the First Amendment. One of these days I should really keep going through the Bill of Rights. I did make it all the way to the 4th (which, coincidentally, Bruce Schneier just wrote about).
In 2007, a lot of people enjoyed my post House of Cards.
And in 2008, I celebrated International Women’s Day, sort of.
In Closing: a great pre-review of the new Star Trek movie; 1895 Diary; poverty may effect kid’s brains (for counterpoint, I think Zig would disagree); ancient cliffside catacombs; a good first step in really fixing the banking crisis, reinstate Glass-Steagall, endorsed by those freakin liberals at Business Week; February in charts; surveillance towers planned for border towns like Detroit and Buffalo, but notably not for San Diego or El Paso; and the S&P 500 is livin it up while the businesses are goin down.
Happy April, everybody!
Thanks for the kudos!
