Those in power have a tendency to nominate those they know.<br /><br />I am not sure that women who could nominate are as likely to do so.<br /><br />In any case, to get an honor, someone has to write up reams of paperwork....Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032454459129277383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-57158511235492783512009-06-09T10:14:54.071+09:302009-06-09T10:14:54.071+09:30I'll have to look the date up but it has been ...I'll have to look the date up but it has been a very long time.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-61967676797201378742009-06-09T09:01:32.786+09:302009-06-09T09:01:32.786+09:30There's been non-stop political stuff on the r...There's been non-stop political stuff on the radio & in the newspaper these last few days here too.
