PunditMom Rants (again) About Media Coverage of Adoption — It’s Not Just About Madonna
I really try to stick to more political things here at PunditMom, but sometimes I have to speak up when the media gets out of control with its coverage of adoption. This week, the Washington Post wrote this headline, “…

March 28, 2009
A cultural shift is going on when it comes to the economy. Sure, we’re all cutting back, clipping coupons and altering summer vacation plans (if we can even afford one). But this economic downturn is the kind that’s going to …

March 27, 2009
I know you might be wondering what glue I’ve been sniffing to wonder aloud about what our economic recovery could look like if “women’s work” was valued in the way men’s always has been. I don’t mean the stereotypical world …

March 26, 2009
Well, spring break is upon us here at Chez PunditMom, so it’s a bit tough juggling the parenting and punditry duties! But that doesn’t mean I’m slacking off! You can find me over at MSN today with interviews of eight …

March 24, 2009
I’ve had a girl crush on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for a long time, in my own geeky political mom sort of way. She’s more than just one of 435 in Congress — she’s a major player on Capitol Hill …

March 20, 2009
Ruth Madoff and I have something in common. No, Mr. PunditMom hasn’t been running his own multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme and I can guarantee you we don’t have a chateau in France or a getaway home in Florida. But I …

March 17, 2009
I’m ashamed to say this, but I’ve been keeping something from you. My plans for world domination have expanded and there are a couple of women you may know and love who are accomplices on this mission. It turns out …

March 16, 2009
I loved it when Tyra Banks said it to take on the people who wanted to lessen her accomplishments by criticizing how she looked in a bathing suit. Yes, Miss Tyra said it and now it’s time to say it …

March 15, 2009
I don’t practice law anymore, but after having contract law in my head for over 15 years, there are still a few tidbits bouncing around in there. Maybe I’d be better off if that wasn’t the case, because then this …

March 14, 2009
