And, That, Ladies And Gentlemen, Is How You Wear An Orange Pantsuit
What class.
She got off some great lines.
No way, no how, no McCain.
Bush and McCain are going to be twins next week in the Twin Cities.

Green-collar jobs.
We don't have a moment to lose or a vote to spare. I want you to think about your children and grandchildren come election day.
In America there is . . . no ceiling too high.
A shout out to the women of Senaca Falls.
And -- yeah, she finally reduced me to tears -- a shout out to Harriet Tubman.

I loved the way that she sort of tied Seneca Falls to Harriet Tubbman. (They were the only two "history" references in the speech.) It was a kind of reminder that the struggle for racial equality and the struggle for gender equality are essentially and practically bound together.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
