Business, Women

2007_10_1.women.jpgGood news, women of Illinois: We're in good company! Four of the top ten most powerful women in business are based here (or run companies that are). Irene Rosenfeld, chairman and CEO of Kraft Foods, comes in at number 5, thanks to acquiring a $7.2 billion "global biscuit business." Pat Woertz, chairman, CEO, and president of Decatur–based agricultural giant Archer Daniels Midland, follows her at 6 because she brought in $44 billion in revenue. Number eight is Oprah, and rounding out the pack is Brenda Barnes, chairman and CEO of Sara Lee.

Bad news, women of Illinois: The Sun Times thinks men need advice on what to do when you make more money than your boyfriend. The asinine opinion piece on page 33 today concludes "Instead of sulking or seeking out low-paid women who can make them feel better about themselves, men should remember: Cash is only a means to an end. Young men are still the man, and no amount of money can take away the dignity in that." If you were planning on dating someone because he or she makes less money than you, and this somehow makes you feel better about yourself and therefore attracted to that person, maybe you need a little more work on this "dignity" thing.

You ain't gotta be rich but FUCK THAT
How we gonna get around your BUS PASS
Fo' I put this pussy on your mustache
Can you AFFORD ME, my niggaz breadwinners, never corny
Ambition makes me, so horny
Not the fussin and the frontin
If you got nuttin, baby boy, you betta
"Git Up, Git Out and get somethin" Shit!
I like a, lot of P-rada, Alize and Vodka
Late nights, candlelight, then I tear the cock up
Get it up I put it down everytime it pop up, huh
I got to snap em, let it loose, then I knock ya
Feel the juice, then I got ya, when you produce a rocka
I let you meet momma and introduce you to poppa
My, coochie remains in a Gucci name
Never test my patience nigga, I'm high maintenance
HIGH CLASS, if you ain't rollin, bypass
If you ain't holdin, I dash yo

Can I get a FUCK YOU
to these bitches from all of my niggaz
who don't love hoes, they get no dough
Can I get a WOOP WOOP
to these niggaz from all of my bitches
who don't got love for niggaz without dubs?

That was an inane piece from a third-rate editorial board at a fourth-rate tabloid, trying to appeal to the vapid "You Go Girl!" Oprah-worshipping crowd.

matty: dignity indeed! (who is that?)

I'm betting that its rapper "Lil( Stupid) Kim"
and I think the connection, underscored by Di works with this Red Eye-ish article

I'm still dodging that terrorist I'm more likely to meet than a husband. What a pest!

Di Urrea, great comment. The Sun-Times has really been mediocre lately. Between the race-baiting and tittilating pre-teen-level stories, they are showing their true colors.

They seek the color green, no matter how much dignity it costs them.

They stole that idea from the NY TImes, which ran a piece on the exact same thing last week.

That rap sounds completely manufactured to me. i.e., I doubt it is the artist's expression of her feelings, but rather a crass attempt at commercial success, probably dreamed up by some record company exec.
