An Interview with a True Feminist: Amy Siskind, Co-Founder of The New Agenda

Aug 12, 2009 | 10 Comments

This article is a featured piece on the blog DivineCaroline
Did you ever get that sinking feeling there was just something wrong? Wrong in the sense that what you used believe in just didn’t seem worth it anymore somehow or make sense?
That is how I was beginning to feel about women’s rights. Maybe that might be rhetorical to some, but it is simple just the fact that many women are feeling society today.
Pro-Choice, Pro-Life, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, and Conservative: all words women label themselves as. Could there any more reasons why …

Aug 5, 2009 | 16 Comments

The author is commenting on “You’re Welcome, America:  A Final Night with George Bush,” a show that comedian Will Ferrell performed to sell-out crowds on Broadway at the Court Theater, and that later was telecast on HBO.  The show included a skit in which a woman portraying Condoleezza Rice performed what The Huffington Post described as a “lap dance” “greeted with much acclaim.”  The New Agenda did not cover the show at the time, simply becuse we missed it.  If you know of other stories we should be covering, send tips or blog submissions …

Ahmadinejad!
The man that has declared the Holocaust to be a Hoax.
The leader that has threatened to wipe Israel and America off the face of the planet.

Is now being compared …

The author presents her own views, not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
I watch Bill O’Reilly. Wait!  Don’t go away.
Yes I watch the O’Reilly Factor.  Not religiously, but I watch it.  As a registered Libertarian I love his show and believe it or not he does come off as non-biased on quite a lot of issues, if you can get past the fact that he is Bill O’Reilly.  So when I heard about the altercation between Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and the CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce Harry …

TNA @ WomenCo!

Jul 22, 2009 | One Comment

You can find The New Agenda’s group page at WomenCo here.
About three months ago I was searching around jobsites for, well, obviously for a job. I happened to stumble upon quite the site, WomenCo, a social networking site for career oriented women.
WomenCo is not just another job hunting site like Monster or Careerbuilder. As great as those things are I found a community of women, and yes some men, that have come together to network and discuss issues pertaining to all aspects of different careers. Everything from fashion to …
