RIP Geraldine Ferraro
Geralldine Ferraro, who ran for vice president aside Walter Mondale, died @ the age of 76.
She was a pioneer who also inspired Sarah Palin to do the same thing 24 years later. I'm not into politics, but I'm into pioneers who broke barriers. Danica Patrick; Indy car racer Sally Ride; astronaut Libby Riddles; Iditarod sled dog racer Shirley Muldowney; dtag racer Kurt Wait; Pillsbury bake-off winner in 1996 (Dallas/Alex Trebek) |

Pft... Danica Patrick didn't break any barriers!! She's just currently the top female driver right now. Now if you want a female that broke barriers in racing then go for Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, Ethel Mobley, Louise Smith, or Sara Christian!! Heck Sara Christian was the top finisher for women (5th place) in a Nascar race in 1949!! A record that Danica only recently beat (by placing 4th in the Daytona 500).

I'm not into politics either, but this is still sad. My condolences go out to her family and friends.
