This is about “women” and disingenuous discrimination in the workplace

Good morning!
Mika Brzezinski: I Almost Left ‘Morning Joe’ Over Pay Disparity (VIDEO)
Mika Brzezinski revealed on Thursday’s “Morning Joe” that she almost left the show in 2008 because she was being paid so much less than her male colleagues.
Brzezinski recounts her fight about her pay disparity in her new book, “Knowing Your Value.” She told her fellow panelists–including Nora Ephron and Norah O’Donnell, who are featured in the book–what happened.
“I had found out that I was the lowest paid at the table and sometimes by far,” she said. “I didn’t think I should be making more than any of you guys…but these [disparities] were vast.” (How vast?In another interview, Brzezinski said she was making fourteen times less than co-host Joe Scarborough.) She said that she came to the conclusion that she was “at the bottom of the barrel inside because of the deal I had cut for myself.”
Willie Geist asked her why she didn’t walk away. “We fixed it,” Brzezinski said.

Readers: Mika’s response of saying that she didn’t negotiate well or that she didn’t know her value is the same as saying, “I wore my skirt too short…”
Her book is typical of her performance on the show: She always acquiesces to Joe. She pretends that the “man” didn’t know what he was doing to her, when he knew. How could he not? Look, it’s Joe’s show right? The real culprit here is this guy, “Joe”. He knew how much everyone was being offered. He knew what everybody’s salary was, including how little they were offering Mika.
Once again, it’s men being sneaky and getting over on the women again. It’s men saying, “Fuck the women; it’s all about us men.” Need I say what color I’m talking about here? So yeah, They didn’t have any problems giving “Joe” 14 times more money than her.(!) And they certainly weren’t going to say anything when they offered her a measly sum to co-host with Joe. They were probably thinking, “Great we’re getting her way cheap. Don’t say anything.”
Mika: Name the man who was responsible!
But no. Instead of blaming it on “Joe” the culprit, and “MSNBC”, she goes and blames herself for not “negotiating” a good deal because she didn’t “know her value”. The “Morning Joe Show” had just begun. It was a new show. How could she know what to negotiate? How could she know her value? Do men know? It’s not like men know some little secret about their value that women don’t. I don’t think so.
And I don’t buy that none of her colleagues were privy to the fact that they were making so much more money than she was. Look, we all know when it comes to money, men talk. I’m sure they spoke about their salaries amongst themselves, They knew exactly how much each of them was making and they knew exactly how much Mika was making – a lot less.
But did anyone bother to tell Mika what they were making? Did anyone bother to tell her that she was basically getting ripped off? Where was the team support? There was none. Mika, like many women don’t realize that she may be working with a team, that there may be common goals that they share, but that women in most work situations are not considered part of the team. So no, she wasn’t informed…she wasn’t “in the know” that she was making so much less. Everyone else knew – The only person left in the dark was Mika. It was the mens’ sneaky little secret.
This was just a typical conspiracy against women. When will women wake up and see this?
Mika: How about instead of blaming yourself, look at the situation, and assess it logically. “Hmm…I’m a woman and I just found out my male colleagues are getting paid way more than me. I’m a woman doing the same same job as a man and I’m getting paid less, much less than Joe and even much less than my male colleagues. I think this was a deliberate conspiracy to pay me less.”
But, no. Typical stupid woman – she blames herself. Here she had an opportunity to expose these men that cheated her out of the same same salary that they were getting. And she blames herself for not negotiating a better deal, and knowing her worth.
And then she writes this silly book. Just what is she saying through her book to all of those women out there in the workplace? Basically she’s saying., “This is a woman’s issue. It’s the woman’s fault.” She doesn’t have to say it but her meaning says everything: “It doesn’t have anything to do with men.”
Bull shit. It isn’t a woman’s issue of fault, or not knowing her value – This is men doing to women what they have been doing to women for years and years: conspiring against women and getting paid much more money for doing the same same job.
Think about this…if they were paying her that much less than Joe, and her male colleagues, just how much less do you think her female colleagues were getting?
No, it’s not about you girl – it’s about women. And you didn’t stand up for yourself and women. Like I said, this book is silly – it tells women nothing. Read it only if you want to be a victim and feel good about. Otherwise, don’t bother.
Mika is just a typical example of a stupid woman, not seeing her experience for what it really is: devious, disingenuous discrimination in the workplace…and instead blames herself.
Thoughts? Rants? Comments? Blog me.
Social Butterfly: I love seeing your moniker when I’m reading all the comments. Thanks for the mom’s day wishes – yes I am a mother to my beloved Lucy. :) It sounds like you have a lovely relationship with your mom too. Cool for you.
I had a fabulous time yesterday with my mother. First we visited my Grandmother. It was wonderful because she was in her bedroom, which is rare in the home she lives in so I got to have a private conversation with her – something that rarely happens. I cherished the moment and felt so lucky to see the sparkle in her eyes still. I miss the talks that we used to have.
Then my mother, her brother and his lady love (Doug stayed home with a cold :(), and I, went to the Ferry Building in SF and celebrated at Market Bar. It was so beautiful in San Francisco.
Oh, and your article was just sick. Thanks for posting. I signed too.
Erica: Thank you. And yes, no surprise there.
Lex: :)
AH: I just wanted to say “Hello”.
Zen Lill: It sounds like you had a great day with Lilly.
DOB: It’s been a long time since I have felt the exciting rumble of a bike between these thighs. :) It’s tempting…
Got to run… Peace out.
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers.

So many women need to hear what you have to say.

Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can’t even afford a washing machine
will probably never be able to support you.

Does Your Car Smell Funny?
Eric Peters
Lots of smells can invade an automobile, some that are benign and others that signal trouble. Here, common car smells, what they are trying to tell you and how you or your mechanic can get rid of them…
Rotten egg/sulfur smell
Especially if it’s very strong and constant, this could be a sign that your car’s catalytic converter isn’t properly processing the by-products of combustion. There could be a problem with the converter itself or with the engine.
What to do: Get a constant sulfur smell checked out quickly to avoid ruining the catalytic converter. Cost: A car manufacturer’s factory replacement unit can cost $300 or more.
Helpful: Avoid buying gas at lightly trafficked gas stations. The fuel may be old and possibly contaminated, which can trigger problems with your car’s emissions control system and possibly damage the catalytic converter.
GASOLINE SMELL
All cars built since the early 1980s have vapor-recovery systems designed to prevent gasoline vapors from wafting into the surrounding air.
So if you do smell gas, other than when you are filling the tank, it’s possible that your vapor-recovery system isn’t working properly — or worse, that there’s an actual gas leak somewhere.
The latter is an obvious fire hazard.
What to do: If the gas smell is strong, it is best not to drive the car at all and instead call for a tow to your dealership or repair shop.
The possible repairs could involve problems that range from simply replacing a leaky fuel rail (which connects fuel lines and injectors) to repairing or replacing a gas tank.
Helpful: Be sure that you fully tighten your gas cap after filling up. It is an integral part of a modern car’s emissions control system.
If you leave it loose, vapors will escape and, in addition to the gas smell, your car’s “check engine” light probably will come on, requiring a visit to a repair shop or auto-parts store to clear the code from the computer that triggers the light (some shops will do it for free).
SICKLY SWEET/OILY SMELL
Engine coolant has a very distinctive sweet/oily smell.
If you notice this smell outside the car, check underneath for puddles and drips to see if there is a leak somewhere in the cooling system.
If you notice this smell inside your car, check for dampness around the passenger side foot well.
If you find wetness, you probably have a leaking heater core. A related symptom is a sticky film coming out of the defroster ducts that settles on the windshield.
What to do: This is one of those problems that starts out small and gets worse over time, so the sooner you can get it fixed the better.
Repairs could range from replacing leaking hoses (a replacement hose costs about $25) to replacing a heater core, which can cost several hundred dollars.
MUSTY/MOLDY SMELL
Condensation may be collecting in the vehicle’s air-conditioning system instead of draining out as it should.
What to do: Look underneath the car in the area near the passenger-side floor pan, usually toward the front, where it meets up with the firewall that separates what’s under the hood from the passenger compartment.
If there is mud or caked-on debris, try to wash it away with a garden hose. The air-conditioning system’s drainage holes could be blocked, causing the moisture buildup.
If you can’t find anything obvious, it’s a good idea to take the car in for a professional diagnosis. Mold can be unhealthy as well as unpleasant.
If the air-conditioning system needs major work or the ducts need to be taken out, it can be a big job costing several hundred dollars.
But if it can be cleaned out without disassembly (shops have chemicals and tools for this), then it will cost less.
Moldy smells also can be caused by water getting into the carpets from leaky windows or doors.
Helpful: Many late-model cars have cabin-filtration systems, but drivers often neglect to periodically clean or replace the filters.
Check your owner’s manual to see whether your car has a cabin-filtration system, and follow the recommended service schedule for cleaning and replacement.
ACRID/BURNING HAIR SMELL
The friction material that lines clutch discs and brake pads can produce this smell, especially during hard use or abuse, such as riding the clutch or brakes excessively.
What to do: Try to correlate the smell with the situation. For example, if it arises when you’re descending a long, steep grade, it’s probably coming from the brakes.
If it happens when you’re accelerating and you have a manual transmission, it’s more likely to be the clutch.
If the brake pads and/or shoes are worn out, they’ll need to be replaced. Replacing front brake pads typically costs less than $100. If the clutch is failing, replacing it can cost $500 to $800.
Helpful: Downshift the transmission to a lower gear when going sharply downhill (in automatics, just go down one gear from the “drive” position) to avoid overusing the brakes, which could lead to reduced brake performance as well as excessive wear and tear.
If you have a manual transmission, avoid riding the clutch for very long when starting out and when stopping. Smooth, progressive engagement will help extend clutch life.
BURNING OIL SMELL
This often is the result of a failing gasket or seal that lets engine oil seep onto hot engine parts, where it cooks off.
The good news is that if the leak is minor (just some light wetness or, at most, a few drops), it’s usually more of an unpleasant annoyance than an urgent problem.
The bad news is that small leaks often become bigger leaks.
If the oil smell is coming from the tailpipe (look for smoke with a bluish haze), it is a symptom of a worn-out engine in which oil is seeping into the combustion chamber and being burned up along with the air and fuel.
What to do: Mention the leak the next time your car is in for service. A repair shop will perform tests to determine the condition of the engine.
THAT “NEW-CAR SMELL”
This “chemical” smell is the result of the evaporation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from plastic and rubber — the materials that are used to make most of the interior parts of the vehicle, such as dashboards, door panels, seat materials and carpets. It typically goes away on its own as the car ages.
What to do: Keep the windows open to allow better airflow.

Garage Door??
The boss walked into the office one morning not knowing his zipper was down ?and his fly area wide was open.
His assistant walked up to him and said, “This ?morning when you left your house, did you close your garage door?”
The boss ?told her he knew he’d closed the garage door, and walked into his office? puzzled by the question. ??
As he finished his paper work, he suddenly noticed his fly was open, and? zipped it up. He then understood his assistant’s question about his garage? door.
He headed out for a cup of coffee and paused by her desk to ask, “When my ?garage door was open, did you see my Hummer parked in there?” ?
She smiled and said, “No, I didn’t. All I saw was an old minivan with two ?flat tires.”
May 9th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Michelle, most of the women in our office are of the same opinion. The men at the table knew they were making a whole lot more than she was.
She knew they knew too, but as you pointed out she was chicken shit about calling them out on it.

May 9th, 2011 at 11:01 am
And just how am I supposed to “know my worth?” And more to the point is she implying that men are born knowing their worth?
Lynn
May 9th, 2011 at 11:06 am
Yeah, and how about that conspiracy of silence the men were guilty of? She was trying to cover for that idiot Joe as she does so often during the show.
Of course he knew how much she was making. The men were enjoying the knowledge. You think the boss didn’t clue the men in on what would be an appropriate salary for their positions. She had an agent, you think he didn’t know the going wage for that position?
Of course he did. But he was a man and it was alright to pay a woman less, much, much less.
She is an idiot and a sellout. Thanks for calling her on it.

And she hid the hurt with a woman’s skill,
And she studied the housemaid’s lighting;
To be betrayed for an artless maid—–
‘Twas time to be up and fighting.
When the boss was gone to the stockmen’s hut,
She lost no time in the going,
With a friendly smile and a bit of guile,
Would the maid come and help with the sewing?
And the maid agreed with a ready nod,
She’d nothing much to do,
She went with a smile, and fell for a pile
Would last for an hour or two.
And the wife, when the work was well in swing,
Slipped off to the housemaid’s room,
And safe in the camp, she blew the lamp,
And waited there in the gloom.

Michelle I live in Az Zintan. We are being attacked from every direction by bombs from Gaddafi. We need some help. Our men fought off an invasion by Gaddafi’s men but many are dead. We fear rape and torture and death if they succeed in getting in. I am one of only 7 women still here who can read and write. Please help.

Well Urte I guess we no longer need to wonder where the Princess is…
May 9th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Jesus Christ, was that for real? Oh my my…seriously, women worry about ‘people won’t like me if..?’ (if i ask for money to do a fucking job, really?), hmm – I don’t work for free (or cheap), do you? I’d kick my agents ass, then fire the bastard and then I’d be kicking Joe’s ass, too, instead she kissing it, what is wrong with her??? Or, wait a minute, maybe they offered the book deal to make her the money back that they fucked her over and out of?! Arrrggghhh…OMG, I better not really get going on this one…I could shred all of them.
Nora E made a point, just hang up on someone who is screaming at you, I’ve done it and smiled at my boss while I said ‘must’ve been a bad connection’ just so he knew it was my finger connecting with the ‘f**k off’ button.
Bob, that’s a funny one : )
Luv, Zen Lill

Zen Lill
Love your commentary. You have the right answer. Ass kicking is needed all around.
May 9th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Zen Lill, did I miss something? Who is Nora E? I hang up on people all the time. It fucks them up because they are left with no way to release their anger.
Luv it!!!!!!!!

Howie: What’s the story? is Beryl correct in assuming that Urte is saying that the Princess is on Guam?
May 9th, 2011 at 6:45 pm
I’m not buying it was the aliens story. But I checked and Guam experienced a total black out of the Island. TOTAL! How can an island that is so strategic to America’s be totally blacked out so easily? The explanation they gave see link – Residents left in the dark: GPA: Fallen line led to islandwide blackout – http://www.guampdn.com/article/20110510/NEWS01/105100302
is even more baffling. WTF? Why does China have to spend billions targeting an Island that can be knocked out by a “Fallen Line?” “The line designed to protect island transmission is the same line that caused the power system to short-circuit yesterday afternoon.”
If the aliens didn’t do it, what is wrong with the government? If Guam is the gate to the Pacific Rim and protection of America’s flank, Who’s falling down on the job?
Or is the government simply alibiing a situation they can do nothing about, and it was ALIEN error that did it. Do we have to defer to Howie to get the answer?
Okay, you’re up Howie.

Michelle, I’ve only been checking this blog out for about 2 weeks. It is all over the place. What is your theme? People come on as start talking as if we know what they are talking about or where they are coming from.
Who’s keeping score? Or should I be asking this of Zen Lill or Howie? Are you all the players?
Every blog has its regulars, but yours is non structured. Do you even have a main theme?

We are in 1873:
Mary Ann Cotton hanged in Durham Prison on July 24, 1873 was a singularly bereaved lady. Twenty-one people in her immediate circle have died over the last 20 years.
A year ago, Mary Ann’s stepson died. A doctor, made suspicious by the circumstances, refused to issue a death certificate until the child’s body had been examined. Post-mortem analysis discovered arsenic.
Police learned that during the previous year Mary Ann’s other stepson had died, as had the boys 39 year old father. Fredrick Cotton; a lover of Mary Ann’s named Joseph Natrass; and Mary Ann’s sis’s-six-month-old baby. Mary Ann had no good explanation for her own purchases of arsenic. And went deservedly to the gallows.
But a survey of her life over the last 20 years showed that whenever this monster tired of a husband or lover – (and she had more of both than most)–the unfortunately fellow was most likely to die; whenever she needed a small inheritance, an appropriate family member would pass away; whenever her children seemed too much trouble, the little darlings were fetched away to heaven.
Fourteen murders are confidently ascribed to this woman; a 15 is probable. So single handedly she has committed as many murders as William Burke and William Hare did together some 40 years ago, and if but two more of her 21 suddenly deceased relatives died at her hand, then she exceeds their conjoint total and will become Britain’s worst mass killer as she is certainly England’s.

Calvin, Nora ephron was part of that panel on the video, in response to get yelled at by a boss on the phone, she said, hang up claiming a bad connection. I made no mistake in letting my boss know about the hang up as I stated above. First of all, male or female if you have a boss (again, male or female boss) who yells at you on the phone, just hang up and let them sit it out for a minute. I think that’s basically your point, Calvin, let them let their steam off elsewhere (cause it isn’t going to be with me or you : ) and that is part of that ‘in every moment we teach people how to treat us’ thing, if you stay on the line you are announcing that you are a whipping girl/boy, if you hang up…hmm, they have to rethink that approach.
Patricia, maybe she could use an ass kicking too, Mika’s got herself twisted ass backwards…though I do believe they bought her the book deal, it’s the only thing that makes sense to me, her ego was on the line but not in the way she thinks it is…
Norman, you would not be the first male to tell me that, sometimes that sentiment comes out more polite, sometimes not, and then sometimes I keep talking tuff on purpose ; )
Bob, Your comment made me smile, your wife must’ve been fun to be married to, sorry for your loss and if there is a heaven I’m sure she’s holding court there ; ) a force never stops.
Speaking of favorites, Howie and Al, you are being paged : ) you can answer q’s about Guam and the TAo and the princess/prince if you want to or just come and say hi, it’s been awhile, are you two ok?
…too bad about those archives, I guess newbies will just have to keep reading to catch on or catch up, it is too bad though, there were some great heated moments to be had there, ah well…

Blackout caused by salt water-corroded line
Posted: May 09, 2011 9:08 PM
Updated: May 09, 2011 9:08 PM
by Nick Delgado
Guam – It took the Guam Power Authority nearly six hours to re-energize and fully restore power to the entire island. GPA’s Edward Leon Guerrero says the outage originated from a corroded static line caused by salt water. He says the line fell on the breakers in the switchyard then caused Cabras 1, 2, 3, and 4 to go offline.
Leon Guerrero says the agency does annual inspections of its power system, however admits they continue to battle corrosion, noting, “We did an inspection in September ’09 and in fact it was that tower number one that we did an inspection there about year and a half ago, and even just this alone we didn’t even notice, we did a visual then and we didn’t even pick this one up and everything looked good then.”
GPA spokesperson Art Perez says the last circuit was restored just after nine o’clock last night. He says GPA is using funding from its operations and maintenance budget to conduct extensive inspections as well as replace the lines that are in need of repair to prevent another blackout from happening in the future.
“I think going forward we are going to be coming to this area at Cabras and other base load generators that are also situated at the ocean side and maybe schedule some outages so that we can take a look at some of the connectors that are involved with static lines and lines leading out of power plants,” he said.
Perez says residents still having power issues are urged to contact GPA at 475-1472.
____________________________________________________
One would think they could think of a better answer than “salt water.” Hello, we have salt water all around the Island. What kind of silliness is this? “Salt Water Corrosion?”

AH that Bita certainly has you pussy-whipped. How about heading West young man and giving us some Western Lore American style.
I looked up the guy who killed you. He was one of our Vice Presidents and a traitor.
=======================================================
Yes, an American Vice President was also one of its greatest traitors. Fresh off his duel with Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr noticed his political career was now as dead as Hamilton was.
So he looked fondly on the Louisiana territory, with its disputed borders, and residents toying with secessionist notions. Burr believed a small army could steal Louisiana away, so he contacted Britain’s ambassador, offering to help Britain take the territory. In return, Burr wanted money and ships.
But he also needed a general. So Burr sent the infamous “Cipher Letter” to General James Wilkinson, Commander-in-Chief of the US Army, detailing the plot and requesting his services.
However, Wilkinson believed the plan would fail, and ratted him out to President Thomas Jefferson. Thus, on December 9, 1806, the US Army seized most of Burr’s boats and supplies.
But Burr knew it was REALLY over when he saw a New Orleans newspaper article with a verbatim copy of the Cipher Letter to Britain. Burr appeared in court and was not initially indicted, but fled when asked to appear a second time.
After recapture, he was found not guilty, due to a very precise Supreme Court reading of the Constitution’s definition of treason. He then fled to Europe but returned after four years, finding work as an attorney.
========================================
TWO Points of interest should be noted here.
ONE: It seems that a precedent was set for our highest elected officials to be more about themselves than the country they were elected to serve. That would mean if the allegations made on this blog by Anonz about the act of treason by committed by Ronald Reagan to gain the office of President was not a first, only one better because it was done by a President, rather than a vice president.
TWO: The fact that Burr came back to practice Law and was readily accepted among that profession says everything about the shape of this nation that is led and regulated by lawyers. Nothing is above or below their standards.
We have in President Obama(so far) the example of the highest ideals of that profession, but we are constantly reminded how low they will stoop for a buck.

Sean:
I seldom respond to the attempt to touch by others, but your style and manner of perplexity demands a response.
We are still in 1973:
GERMAN FAMILY ROBBED, RAPED and SLEW WAYFARERS—–
Johann Bender’s lonely “hotel” on the prairie near Cherryvale, Kansas, was just a shack. A crude canvas curtain down the middle divided the “general store” at the front from the sordid “dining and bedroom” at the back. Visitors ate seated on a long bench with their backs to the curtain.
If they were strangers on the trail west, Johann’s lively young daughter, Kate, held them in conversation which she suddenly punctuated with a cry of, “now!”
This signaled 60-year-old Johann or his son to swing a sledgehammer against the curtain, cracking the traveller’s skull. The Frau Bender would join her revolting family in dragging the body into the tornado shelter under the building, where it was stripped and robbed.
Three years ago the Benders simply dumped their victims out on the prairies. But when the law prohibited leaving cattle carcasses unburied, so that gatherings of vultures became an uncommon sight, prudence dictated burials around the hotel.
This year former army scout Col. A.M. York, came to Cherryvale looking for his brother who had disappeared o the trail.
Though the Germans disarmed his suspicions, they were unnerved and fled. Their disappearance was noticed, and the sinister Bender tornado shelter led the colonel’s men to dig up the property.
The missing Dr. York’s body was foud, along with nine others; Also the body of a beautiful little who had been raped by both the Bender men before being tossed alive into her father’s grave.
The Colonel’s party rode in pursuit of the HellBenders” and claim not to have found them.
It is believed, however, that the finest scouts in the southwest did catch this evil family, and extracted immediate condign punishment, hiding the bodies successfully.
==============================================
If I may to all concerned. A Lady should not be referred to as a “pussy.” But when a gentleman admits to being “pussy” whipped. Then the lady is handed the honor of being the only woman that will satisfy her man in bed. Indeed, if I may, the ONLY pussy he wants on the head of his dick.
If you Sean have not met that single pleasure, you have my deepest sympathies. For until you have met the woman that pussy whips you, have yet to feel the deaths of true passion and pleasure.
Sir, I do not apologize for being pussy whipped by Bita, I Celebrate in it. I proclaim my delight to all the world. Yes, sir, I AM PUSSY WHIPPED BY BITA. I look forward to paying tribute to her for the rest of my life!

I am deeply sorry about all the mistakes beginning with
We are still in 1(8)73:
This year former army scout Col. A.M. York, came to Cherryvale looking for his brother who had disappeared o(n) the trail.
The missing Dr. York’s body was fou(n)d, along with nine others; Also the body of a beautiful little (girl) who had been raped by both the Bender men before being tossed alive into her father’s grave.
My excuse is I couldn’t proof read it as Bita was approaching and she can not know of the blog.

So when was the last time you did feel one? …the rumble of a bike between those fine thighs?
