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)

Finland
Germany
Gabon
Greece
Guyana
Guinea Bissau
Haiti
Indonesia
Ireland
Israel
India

Poland
Rwanda
Romania

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!
