3. LA DELICADA FLOR Y SU ACUARELA

Siempre a las mujeres nos han asociado con las flores, ya sea en referencia a la belleza o como un tributo y símbolo de amor, o simplemente al ponernos el nombre de una flor buscando que sus atributos, como la delicadeza o colorida hermosura, se transfieran a nuestra apariencia. Y cuando la mujer artista las toma como tema nos parece una consecuencia de una afinidad natural, más aún si consideramos a la acuarela como la técnica más adecuada para que la mujer pinte flores.


Lo dicho arriba, que parece un feminismo extraño que pone a la mujer a la altura de la delicada flor y a la acuarela como suave técnica, tiene su contradicción en nuestras dos expositoras: Flor de María de Romaña y Yeny Ticona, cuya obra, en calidad técnica y compositiva, así como colorido, nos hace pensar en que la buena pintura está alejada de estereotipos y prejuicios y es ajena a cualquier mandamiento de género u orientación en la condición de ser mujer.

4. SCHLOCK JOCK CHRIS MATTHEWS @ MSNBC is NOT HAVING A GOOD WEEK

Chris Matthews may think he plays political HARDBALL on his news analysis show on MSNBC. He may think his condescending, arrogant attitude towards newsmaking women is entertaining and newsworthy. Alas for Chris "Tweety" Matthews, this bird mimics the corporate talking points with zero elbow room for genuine reflection or analysis. Like the Continental Congress urged that rascal chatterbox John Adams: "For G-d's sake, Chris, sit down," shut up and.. Just Go Away. Far far away. Fly, little bird, fly. Go. Breathe in, breathe deep, and revel in the aftershave of Sleepy Head Republican, Mr. Lazybones Fred Thompson and tell America what we need is a "Real Man" in the White House. Real Men smell like Fred Thompson. Scorned women become Senators. Governors. Speakers of the House, if you really play your mahjong cards right.

Somebody grab a bullhorn and welcome Chris Matthews to 2008. You know, the world where Nancy Pelosi, Jennifer Granholm, Angela Merkel, Valerie Plame, Claire McCaskill, Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton, et al exist. Sorry to break it to you, buddy. We're not all devotees of the Anita Bryant and Phyllis Schlafly backwards-thinking, backwards-thrusting theology. Thank g-d.

Sample this Matthews ditty as posted on the MEDIA MATTERS FOR AMERICA media watchdog website:

"After Clinton won the New Hampshire Democratic primary, Matthews asserted: "[T]he reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around." He described her performance at a debate last Saturday as apparently "good enough to seem good enough here for women who wanted to root for her anyway."

The insult to mankind is self-evident.

Matthews Likes His News to come in one size: pretty. In August 2007, Matthews asked CNBC business analyst Erin Burnett to come closer to the camera while engaging in television commentary with her so he could.. well, I'm not sure what he wanted to do with her but any conclusion is inevitably sickening. (Television Sex?) He begs her to bring her face closer to the screen, using these romantic and cable-ready come-ons: "[Y]ou're beautiful" and "[y]ou're a knockout," before closing the interview by saying, "It's all right getting bad news from you."

There's too much more where this comes from.

I've had enough and, apparently, I am not alone.

There's a firestorm of revulsion streaming his way and we're not going to take it. MEDIA MATTERS lays out the skeletal issues and provides online e-contacts to express your opinion to the corporate cable channel. You can engage in a lively discussion with fellow repulsed members of the thinking world over at Plutonium's Page diary at Daily Kos, your one-stop-shopping progressive blog. My favorite anti-Matthews invective can be found at the aptly-named Sweet Jesus I Hate Chris Matthews blog. Imagine that! A tidal wave of bloggers angry enough to build websites simply based on their revulsion towards a news hack. It's all happening, kids. The Revolution is here and we're using words to fire shots heard 'round the world!

Here's a portion of the letter I snarked off to MSNBC TV @ [email protected] and HARDBALL with CHRIS MATTHEWS @ [email protected] :

I’ve long complained of the way Chris Matthews treats his audience and his guests. You never respond. Not the Hardball staff. Not MSNBC. It’s time you “found your voice,” MSNBC, and do something about the horrific, misogynist Matthews. He does not deserve an altar to spew his idiocy. Bring in the educated and wise David Shuster. Why would you waste your corporate dollars on Matthews? Shame on you for shaming the airwaves with this cruel and tactless barking head. Send him to FOX where he belongs.

As a long-time viewer of MSNBC, I deserve better. I deserve a response—not just to this note but to this call for action. It sickens me to think that I have wasted my loyalty if you do not treat your audience with the respect I have too long dedicated to you.


I know there are greater things to worry about in life but you've got to fight the windmills where they spin.


There's a good reason they call him "Tweety"

Watch Chris Matthews lose his kishkas on national television after the New Hampshire primary; Air America radio host and occasional MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow delivers the delicately-articulated smackdown message at the end of the clip: Matthews, I don't know if you know this, but women think you're an imbecile!
