One of the the things that shocks me is how Sarah Palin has been welcomed so warmly by conservative commentators, voices who normally show little respect for the needs of working mothers + PTA moms. I work in the world of talk radio and have been on the receiving end of this lack of respect. My sister Lian Dolan just wrote a piece about this that is posted at www.satellitessisters.com and BlogHer. Here’s the link.

Hey, Madge. Happy Birthday! I turned 50 almost a year ago and devoted a whole radio show to it. In your honor, I reposted it this week at http://www.satellitesisters.com/audio.html. Everyone who called in - my parents, old friends, even old bosses - definitely got into the spirit of ‘onward and upward”. But don’t get carried away with the Fifty Is The New Thirty stuff. Or even The New Forty. Fifty Is Fine All By Itself. Fifty-one? Well, I’ll see next month!
