Remember the ladies

There’s a little bit more estrogen today in the US Senate, especially on the left side of aisle:
Baldwin, (also first openly gay Senator)
Warren, populist heroine:
Heitcamp and Hirono (also first Buddhist Senator):
I don’t know how they will fare, but it’s good to see them there. Women now make up a fifth of the Senate.-(Why, next thing you’ll know they’ll think they have a claim to half of it!)
*There is also a new Republican woman Senator, Deb Fischer from Nebraska. She’s a Tea Partier. Oh well.
