Palin-Media Relationship: Co-dependent? Surely not!

Sarah Palin’s battle with the “Elite-Media” has always been  her odyssey, regardless of whatever else she might say.  She needs them; they, to a lesser degree, need her…

Politico nails the relationship here.

Sad, but true…

INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY CELEBRATION
19 NOVEMBER 2009

Men and women across the world will be celebrating International Men’s Day on Thursday, 19 November 2009.

Message for everyone on International Men’s Day

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.

The above is a quote of Henry David Thoreau, who observed that most men are enslaved to their work and to those for whom they work. True to his words, everyday:

  • Men protect and provide for families
  • Men render many services that make the society comfortable for everyone
  • Men make many contributions to science, technology and health of all
  • Men perform the most dangerous and difficult jobs in the world

Every day and everywhere, as we are busy idolizing movie stars, athletes and other celebrities as role models, the common men around us —  the academic achievers, social leaders,  champions of the environment, artists, comedians, soldiers, farmers, fishermen, fire fighters,  and those more humble males who, on a daily basis, clean our streets, build our houses, fix our vehicles, police our streets, deliver newspapers and milk, and care for children — dedicate themselves to their work and continue to serve everyone.

On International Men’s Day, here is our message to all men:

CELEBRATE BEING MALE!  Tell your story and sing your song!  We will listen, cheer, remember and support you.

On International Men’s Day, we call upon all men and women to recognize and honor men for the numerous services they render and the innumerable sacrifices they make for the health and well-being of our families and society.

We call upon everyone to celebrate the men in our lives — our fathers, brothers, partners, sons, male friends, neighbors and colleagues.

SAY “NO” TO MALE BASHING!
SAY “NO” TO STEREOTYPING OF MEN!
REALIZE MAN IS NOT AN ATM!
STOP TREATING MEN AS UNPAID BODYGUARDS!
STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN!
UNDERSTAND MEN TOO NEED LOVE AND CARE!
UNDERSTAND MEN TOO NEED PROTECTION!
DEMAND TRUE GENDER EQUALITY!
DEMAND GENDER-NEUTRAL LAWS!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY!!!
