Magnificently Overqualified Mothers


MomsRising delivered nearly 9,000 resumes -- from working mothers -- to Senator McCain yesterday in support of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. If that's not a Laundry Song I don't know what is. A new kind of domestic beauty --

See the video and send your resume from their website.

I wonder what Daumier's laundresses would think of this? What does it tell you about those women that I don't even know their names -- or how to refer to them without the name of the man who painted their pictures? I think I'll freshen up my resume today. Just in their honor. 5,000 loads of laundry a year and proud of it. That reminds me -- there's some wet stuff that needs to get hung on the line right now -- before I go to work.
