And she represents one area that I hadn't really considered at all when putting this together. I do think that if I had done this post 2 or 3 years ago (maybe even more) that she's had made the shit-list for sure.<br /><br />But I guess she's kind of old new over here now. Her star is no longer quite what it once was. (Not to say that it ever should have been ANYTHING!) But come to think of it, I can't really remember the last time I'd heard or read anything about her... It's been awhile anyway! LOL. So... maybe we're learning? Slowly but surely? Nah, I doubt it. :P But the fact that I'd forgotten completely about Hilton IS probably still a good sign. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Niceguy Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896896323840121445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-63959693181022955082010-02-10T20:03:08.671-05:002010-02-10T20:03:08.671-05:00Thanks for this post.

I believe as a society we need to praise the brilliant women we have and give them the same air time and respect as we do to the men in similar positions, instead of focusing on people like Palin and Paris Hilton (Whom I'm surprised wasn't on the list). As I am living abroad in Australia at the moment, many men and women here point to the examples of the "dangerous women" as the caliber of women in the states, as well as how women should be treated. <br /><br />It amazes me that people think that we need to promote these "dangerous women" because they are women doing well in their fields. There are many other smart women out there who could be doing much better! The fact that these women are not always held to the same standard, are allowed to get away with lying, and are continuously praised for their looks, and looks alone as if that raises their IQ, respectability, and honesty just hurts the feminist movement.Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124819716061390215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-42232923791789560492010-02-10T18:57:25.211-05:002010-02-10T18:57:25.211-05:00John,

I tried to make each list as diverse as possible, but the first one ended up heavily slanted towards politics, even if there were only two "official" politicians on it. (Go figure, it's pretty had to do damage to society playing sport or doing comedy!) And I also have no idea how the State that gave us two Vice Presidents and Al Franken can possibly have also given us Michelle Bachman.<br /><br />I also figured that if my second list recognized women from a wide variety of fields (Animal Science, Political Commentary, Comedy, Sports, Art, Journalism, Politics and Business) that I might be given a pass for that one more *ahem* controversial choice. Seems to have worked, so far anyway... :) I still feel I can DEFEND that particular choice, but I'm more than a little bit surprised that so far I haven't HAD TO.

The trailer alone absolutely floored me. And Claire Daines deserves a TON of credit here as well, FAR more than Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man even. I've seen Temple Grandin speak and be interviewed many times and Danes has absolutely NAILED her mannerisms, posture, tone, speaking style... it's uncanny. Grandin herself was involved extensivley in the project and from what I could see was absolutely THRILLED with how it all came out. It's a really amazing and inspiring story.<br /><br />As for McCarthy? I'm not a religious man, as you know, but I'd like to believe if only so I know she'll go to Hell for the children that she's murdered. And her ass-clown husband (Jim Carrey) can go right along with her. Getting a little leg is no reason to be complicit in the slaughter of children. He can burn in hell as well.<br /><br />There are three things that revolutionized modern medicine, and have saved more lives individully, by themselves, than EVERY other advancement made, save the other two: Anti-septics/Steriliazation, Anti-Biotics and Vaccines. Those three alone account for the ovewhelming majortiy of the medical progress we've made since the dawn of man. Taking away one would be like... well, taking away any of the others!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. (No flack for my digs on Softball, or my inclusion of Gray?

I recommended it to multiple friends just yesterday evening. She seems wonderful and very brave.<br /><br />And I have to agree with you about Jenny McCarthy and others like her who fearmonger about vaccines. This past summer, a second string pro football cheerleader tried to claim that she had dystonia from a flu shot. Of course she did not - it was psychogenic. But it got a lot of airtime (the only local coverage I saw was on a Fox affiliate, surprise, surprise), even on mainstream sites, and way more credibility than it deserved, and Jenny McCarthy was involved in that publicity.DellDollynoreply@blogger.com
