35 women have held seats in the United States Senate since its inception.  The number of women in the Senate has more than doubled in the last 20 years.  I find it interesting that the majority of the women who have held seats in the Senate have been democrats (22 out of 35). I’m not [...]

I learned this lesson the hard way a few years ago. I was sitting at my computer at home, minding my own business when I caught a virus.
