Steven and I have been looking for a female front-pager for Booman Tribune for over a year. We haven’t been able to find anyone that meets all of the requirements and, at the same time, will agree to post here. And the requirements are not that easy to meet…you have to be prolific, you have to be outstanding, and you have to have some kind of political affinity with this community. Today is a day when I really feel the consequences of our failure. Part of the problem lays with me. I judge everyone too harshly…and very few can come close to SusanHu. She set a standard that is very hard to meet. And for a very long time I hoped that Susan would return and I didn’t want to replace her. Actually, I still am debilitated by that hope. Susan remains one of my very favorite bloggers and her work at No Quarter is amazing.
Regardless, today, a day in which the Supreme Court really did damage to women’s rights, I feel the lack of a strong woman’s voice on the front-page here much more strongly.
