Shaken, not stirred

So it's International Women's Day tomorrow. Its 100th anniversary even.

So what?

Not to pick on him in particular, but here's one's man take on the matter:

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff made the following statement on the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day:

"100 years ago tomorrow, the first International Women's Day was established in 1911 to campaign for women's rights to work, vote, hold public office and end gender discrimination.

"Today, International Women’s Day celebrates the economic, political and social achievements of women across the globe..."

I wonder. Do women celebrate how far they've come in Congo, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, on the Highway of Tears, in low-income areas where single Moms live right here in Toronto ... ?

Meanwhile, in the US and, to a lesser extent, in Canada, there's a war on women's rights.

Sorry, but I can't get it up for International Women's Day.

So I'll let James Bond Judi Dench speak for me -- with James Bond (Daniel Craig) riding shotgun:

Wow, good video.

Not to nit pick, but it's technically Dame Judi Dench (Bond's BOSS) who is speaking for you (and me). Bond is just the eye candy.

Now that's the kind of change I can get behind. :)
