"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Equal Pay for Equal Work... again.

So I'm watching Hannity and Colmes tonight, repeatedly fighting the urge reach through the screen and start tasering people. Christine Pelosi, showing that the agonizing leftist nuts don't fall far from the agonizing leftist trees, repeatedly coughed up the "equal pay for equal work" canard. Hannity, who tends to disappoint with his questioning and debating (but still a step up from that intellectually dishonest hack he shares the show with) didn't call her on this tired claim. Earth to the wonks (on both sides): Setting aside the fallacy of the "pay equity" argument, both Senators Obama and Biden are shafting... okay, poor choice of terms post-Clinton... both of these stalwart defenders of women's rights are, as was mentioned earlier, paying their women staffers less than they're paying the male staffers. Meanwhile, over at the Evil League of Evil (aka McCain's office) women are getting paid more than the guys.
