Sarah Silverman, self-proclaimed "writer, comedian, and vagina owner:"


http://www.equalpaybackproject.com/

We got a very unusual phone call recently.

Two women who work at a top advertising agency in New York heard President Obama talk about the wage gap. When they calculated that each of them could lose as much as half a million dollars during their careers, they got so worked up about the issue that they wanted to do something about it. Something big.

So they called us. They'd heard NWLC was a leader in the fight for equal pay for women. That we were pushing for fair pay legislation and holding employers accountable. The women at the ad agency wanted to help.

The result? This video starring Sarah Silverman, self-proclaimed "writer, comedian, and vagina owner:"

How do the Republicans win elections?

Never mind - white male voters, forgot for a second.

shock and awe comedy. And nobody gets killed, unlike another shock and awe we can name - except maybe by laughs.

I find her very funny. i first noticed her in the film School Of Rock where she had a small but memorable role. She was absolutely hilarious.

As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan. In fact, she reminds me of Dubya, albeit with a somewhat higher IQ.

very young and somewhat unsure. She has grown into a political maelstrom.

Very funny person if you can see her comedy.
