When A Politician Dies

The passing of Margaret Thatcher has drawn a mixture of sentiments, not simply the standard sadness and sympathy usually expressed.

Here’s a video of Glenda Jackson addressing parliament after Margaret Thatchers death. What went on during Thatcher’s reign should be familiar to Americans.

From Lesley R. in San Francisco – thank you!

And the song “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead” almost reached No. 1 on the radio charts in the U.K. last week.

O Pioneers!

In light of the record number of women elected to office across the country this year, Bad Girl Chats would like to pay homage to political pioneers who paved the way.  Here is a political ad I drew for Grace Mary Stern’s 1982 campaign for Lt. Governor of Illinois.  While she didn’t win that election, she did go on to become a State Representative in 1984 and build an admirable political career.
