Here’s a headline: Push Girl Takes Journalism By Storm. To get the full scoop, let us introduce you to Katharine Graham. Tasked with taking over “The Washington Post” in 1963, Katharine boldly stepped up to the challenge. Along the way, she brought home quite the array of awards for the mantelpiece, and helped take down a US President in the process. The person that ran the paper during Watergate deserves some of the credit beyond just the reporters, don’t you think? The truth is that all of her accomplishments she did in a male-dominated industry where sometimes even her own employees didn’t accept her. Would it be farfetched to speculate she may be one of the inspirations behind Millennium Trilogy character, Erika Berger. Yes or no, our op-ed says: Never mess with a push girl!
Tell your friend she’s got a little Katharine Graham in her. Reblog now to give her a little push.

The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award presented to Gerald R. Ford on May 21, 2001. Senator Edward Kennedy presented Ford with the high honor and remarked:
“At a time of national turmoil, America was fortunate that it was Gerald Ford who took the helm of the storm-tossed ship of state. Unlike many of us at the time, President Ford recognized that the nation had to move forward, and could not do so if there was a continuing effort to prosecute former President Nixon. So President Ford made a courageous decision, one that historians now say cost him his office, and he pardoned Richard Nixon. I was one of those who spoke out against his action then. But time has a way of clarifying past events, and now we see that President Ford was right. His courage and dedication to our country made it possible for us to begin the process of healing and put the tragedy of Watergate behind us. He eminently deserves this award, and we are proud of his achievement.”
President Ford’s remarks upon receiving the award can be found here.

I don’t really care if you don’t agree with me.
Ok, I do…please come back.
Anyway, there have been some major drops from the 2019 list as well as new additions to it.
For some reason, Gugong dropped…
