Wouldn't you know? The three recipients of the 2009 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award were be given to women today. And two of them did their best to sound warnings about the financial mess that led to this year's economic meltdown.

The black and white cover of a recent issue of New York Magazine consists of a close-up of Caroline Kennedy's face with a single teardrop hand-drawn under one eye which appears to have been applied by a red Sharpie. To the bottom left is the headline, "The brief, bizarre political career of Caroline Kennedy."
Following the abrupt end of Kennedy's campaign to convince New York Gov. David Paterson to select her as New York's next junior senator, the question remains: Does this New York Magazine image represent the portrait of someone who's been victimized by a screwed-up political appointment system, the incompetence of her campaign, or both?

All the women Stahl interviewed had married equally driven men and borne children while working. They’d all made the tough decision to walk away from thriving careers to stay home with their children, because, as one woman said, “someone had to be there.” </p> <br><br><p> As I watched the segment I wondered what these uber-competitive stay-at-home moms would be doing in twenty years.

<h5>Why when women disagree is it always a "cat fight?"</h5> <h4>-Mary Dixie Carter, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bettyconfidential.com/">BettyConfidential.com</a></h4> <p><img alt="" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/YeBlNaO91zzm/photos/700f29f5eed306a0429a8c902e7d27f0/ori_2bd595815f9b6b.jpg?ug_____DhIWQ4O88" width="276" height="173"><br><br>Ever since it became clear that Caroline Kennedy was interested in Hillary Clinton's soon-to-be-vacated Senate Seat, <strong>we've heard some grumblings from a few of Hillary Clinton's supporters</strong> - some questioning about whether or not Kennedy's qualified. Caroline Kennedy now seems determined to get the job, calling several New York political officials to express her interest, planning a "listening" tour of upper New York State and possibly agreeing to some high-profile interviews about her goals if she becomes senator. Quite a change, for the formerly low-key Kennedy daughter. Read More »
