the new Helen Thomas? 
Personally, I prefer the term moonbat bitches
the new Helen Thomas? “she forgot that her own boss, the president, is a man . His vice president is a man”
Could have fooled me.
Michele Malkin is absolutely brilliant in this piece.
One gem after another.
“Equal effort” is a red herring, drawn across the path of anybody trying to get to the bottom of the mystery of how it is that men seem to wind up with larger paychecks than women.
The fact is, anybody gets just about as much money in exchange for the time and effort put in on the job as the rest of society is willing to give that person. Rock stars and sports figures get lots of money because, well, poor people give rich people money. In some dimly perceived way, the very act of elevating another to an exalted status somehow elevates even the lowest to think, “Hey, maybe I has a little something to do with that.”
Applauding with cash is a time-honored method of showing that approval and personal affection for another, and defining that trigger by which a greater or lesser amount of reward is showered upon an individual is as elusive as trying to prove any article of faith or personal belief. The impulse would seem incoherent or totally irrational to anyone else.
Some would question that assumption.
IF I ran a company, I would do the following after Obama’s EO about ‘Equal pay for Equal work’.
I would call in every one of my employees to a meeting, hourly & salaried alike.
I would announce that every single one of them will now be punching in a time clock—at or before 8 in the AM, punching out for lunch, back in at the end of lunch, and out at 5 pm. Any late arrivals, or early departures would result in pay being docked.
I would make sure every single one knew that I was setting up a system in which I could prove whether men & women did the same amount of ‘hours’. Any assignments which were not done in the time expected would result in a write-up.
From such time forward, if anyone took off for a dental appointment, or such, it would be docked from their pay. IF a ‘mother’ whined about having to leave for medical appointments with their kids, I would remind them-—THEY CANNOT HAVE IT ALL. You want to have a ‘CAREER’ and you want to have kids....choose. I am paying employees to be here to do their JOBS....not to be making plans to leave for another ‘appointment’.
I have personally never seen equal work from women across the board at any place I ever worked. VERY, very few of them were on a ‘career path’. Their paycheck was an ‘extra’ for the household. They didn’t take the job very seriously, and they didn’t have much in mind about promotions. They didn’t continue their education. They didn’t treat their job as a place to be for their working life. Very few even understood their role in keeping a company competitive.
They use their kids as a reason they ‘have to leave early’ or ‘come in late’. When that happens, the work load gets put upon the others who didn’t take any time off. Did WE get paid extra for covering ‘Susie’s missing efforts”? Hell, no!! But the workload had to be done.
I lived with this for my entire working life. I never had any kids. and was single most of my life. It was a factor in my becoming self-employed before I was 40. I resented it then, and I still have such resentment.
“This work has to be finished today, and ‘Susie’ is out because one of her kids is sick” was never a welcome statement.
Measuring the balance of ‘Equal Work’ for ‘Equal pay’ is an impossibility.....especially in a paper world. Only can be done when someone is making parts in a factory, etc. Then you can compare ‘units of production’.
Obama is running another smoke & mirrors policy in front of women to dupe them into continuing to vote for Democrats.
I challenge other business owners to find a way to do such measuring.
