I’m still pushing for Aunt Esther. :-)
there must be some quid pro quo going on for this "change" being suggested......just like changing the military uniforms....look for the greased palm....
if they do put a woman on the $10 bill and its someone I don't like, I will not use them nor carry them....
Hedy Lamarr. Brains, beauty, and helped the war effort.
I say we petition the White House to put Monica Lewinski on the ten-spot.
Get real. That’s not a woman. Grrrrr
it's about race...which is how we wound up with that cra**y statue of MLK in the capital (where it doesn't belong) and a Federal holiday and a black month....etc etc.
I like her
This administration from Obama on down are all about “in your face” you damn conservatives. I expect them to use this to create further division, outrage, and anger among conservatives. I predict, and I hope I am wrong, that they will put Margaret Sanger on the ten dollar bill. They will sell her as a advocate of women’s rights, and not the racist, eugenicist, proponent of abortion that she was. This group in Washington is determined to destroy our culture, our political system, and the country. No way will they put a wholesome, brave, patriotic, Christian woman on the ten dollar bill. Not this group of evil beings.

Some people say I’m a ‘No count’
Others say I’m no good
But I’m just a natural born travelin’ man
Doin’ what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin’ what I think I should
And I don’t give a damn about a greenback, a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin’ song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
When I was a little baby
My mama said “Hey son
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy”
Sing what must be sung
And I don’t give a damn about a greenback, a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin’ song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
Now that I’m a grown man
I’ve traveled here and there
I’ve learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
The only ones who ever care, poor boy
The only ones who ever care
And I don’t give a damn about a greenback, a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin’ song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
Some people say I’m a ‘No count’
Others say I’m no good
But I’m just a natural born travelin’ man
Doin’ what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin’ what I think I should
And I don’t give a damn about a greenback, a dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin’ song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
"That's Hedley!"
Dolly Madison or Abigail Adams would be fine with me.
S.E. Cupp?.......That’s at least a 36C Cupp....................
How about LaWanda Page?..................
Why not. That would be perfect for a 3 dollar bill
I think placing a woman on the ten dollar bill will perfectly exemplify gender and racial norms in the United States today.
She will not have had to achieve what a man did to get there.
If she is still alive she will be extremely proud.
If anyone dares point this out to her, she will be extremely offended.
Then there will be the requisite supporters who will trash the person who was audacious enough to address reality.
The only good thing is that unlike the broad spectrum of real workplace existence, her status won’t cause her to be able to screw things up.
She’ll just be there on the bill, standing out in a way that she will never quite comprehend.
And once she is on the bill having not had to achieve what the others did to get on their bills, the requirements for the men will be lowered too, so as not to embarrass her.
Gosh, how fitting. It’s the perfect model for what takes place across the board in today’s America.

The only way Dolly Madison will be on a ten is if she is shown to be transracial.
