Mike Huckabee takes aim at Rush Limbaugh - Dylan Byers - POLITICO.com - “I think there’s more to life than politics,” Huckabee said. “I really feel sorry for people who get so obsessed that their blood pressure goes up 20 points on the systolic because all they do is sit around and make themselves angry and crazy, thinking about things they don’t like.” “I’m an optimistic person. I love this country, and I’m thrilled that I’ve had the opportunities I’ve had,” he continues. “But rather than get angry about the things that have happened in this country, I prefer to approach it in a fun kind of way, rather than ridiculing somebody. And I don’t think that’ll ever happen. In fact, another tagline that will characterize the show is, ‘We will confront the issues and not the listeners’.”
The Decline of the Old Boys' Clubs - The Daily Beast - Have all-male clubs lost their cachet? A decade ago, the testosterone fortress of the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia was a battlefront of the feminist movement. Now, as the club contemplates a historic first offer of membership to a woman—Virginia “Ginni” Rometty, chief executive officer of IBM, which is a sponsor of this week’s Masters Tournament—the most remarkable part of the story is that this time there’s a near-universal consensus. “A lot is different now,” says Ilene Lang, the president and chief executive officer of Catalyst, a global firm that studies women in business. “To most people looking at this, it just seems silly.” Yet silly or no, Lang says it’s about time Augusta got on the distaff side of history. “It is still discrimination,” she says, “and it’s ridiculous.”
