On 195th birthday of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, women in politics still under attack

<p></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; It’s not a happy birthday for Elizabeth Cady Stanton.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The leading suffragist was born on Nov. 12, 1815, but her 195th birthday comes amid a concerted attack on the nation’s highest elected woman.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The despicable attempt to demean Nancy Pelosi’s achievements as the House Democratic leader and to belittle her determination to keep her leadership role shows how precarious a woman’s place in U.S. politics remains.</p>

The Sun Rose from California

<p></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; A certain Harvard professor years ago predicted that solar energy would be made readily available the day that Exxon owned the sun.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; In this election in which polluters and their lackeys see themselves as the owners of Washington again, the professor’s prediction sounds more like a curse.</p>

Espíritu de la Democracia

<p></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Muchos quedaron inconformes con los resultados electorales. A algunos les hubiese gustado que Meg Whitman ganara las elecciones para gobernador de California. A mí, en lo particular, me interesaba más el resultado del Distrito 68 de la Asamblea de California. Quería que ganara el demócrata Phu Nguyen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Lamentablemente mi “gallo” y el candidato preferido de muchas persona perdieron. Tengo un sabor agridulce en la garganta, pero no estoy decepcionado.</p>

Aztecs Move Closer to Securing Bowl Game

<p></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Despite a dismal offensive showing in the first half of their 24-19 victory over the 3-7 Colorado State Rams last Saturday, the San Diego State Aztecs improved their record to 7-2 and moved one step closer to playing in their first bowl game in 12 years. Fortunately for them, ugly wins count just as much as impressive ones in the standings. And this one was about as ugly as they come.</p>
