World welcomes USA to 20th century!

Kamala Harris is but a heart-beat away from the Oval Office! Let the gushing and swooning begin!

Women are finally reaching the ultimate glass ceiling in the dispirited states of America. Just heard an over-the-top CBC commentator gushing and swooning at the same time, which can be problematic for one's undergarments, but not unexpected; the CBC doesn't really think anything happens in the world unless it involves the US.

Just to put Kamala's achievement into perspective, here's a list of countries where women have already been head of state or head of government. Many of these countries have done so more than once, and most of them were doing it last century.

Argentina

Australia

Austria

Bangladesh

Barbados

Belgium

Bolivia

Brazil

Bulgaria

Burundi

Central African Republic

Canada

Chile

Croatia

China

Costa Rica

Denmark

Dominica

East Germany (DDR)

Ethiopia

Estonia

France

Finland

Germany

Gabon

Greece

Guyana

Guinea Bissau

Haiti

Indonesia

Ireland

Israel

India

Iceland

Jamaica

Kosovo

Lithuania

Liberia

Latvia

Malta

Mali

Malawi

Mozambique

Mongolia

Myanmar

Namibia

Norway

Nicaragua

Pakistan

Panama

Peru

Philippines

Portugal

Poland

Rwanda

Romania

Senegal

Singapore

Slovakia

South Korea

Sri Lanka

Taiwan

Thailand

Trinidad and Tobago

Turkey

Ukraine

UK

Yugoslavia

I may have missed a few, but you get the point. Most of the world got to this milestone half a century ago. It's nice to see the Exceptional Nation catching up!

Maybe in another fifty years they'll take a crack at public health care!
