Binders and the Women Within Them

The strong female perspective of In the Pink's blogger Eileen Smith takes political events and informs her readers while amusing as well. A very focused audience seems to be the female demographic though those who enjoy their humor with politics also are included in. A well-known blogger Eileen Smith is recognized by state wide papers such as the Austin Chronicle and Dallas Morning News as a popular, vicious political commenter. Along side her humor is the facts that help gain audience attention and give credibility to her take on political observations.

This particular blog focuses on the humor centering around the Mitt Romney quote regarding his 'whole binders full of women.' A particular offended view about the quote that Miss Smith takes on is the plural use of the groups of women used to search for qualified women for the cabinet. The idea seems that there was little need to use multiple sources to find the women with the skills that would fit the cabinet's requirements.

However centered the particular quote Miss Smith brings about multiple points that Mitt Romney has carried himself with words at poorly executed times during the last presidential debate. Such instances involve points at which he decided more time on past subjects touched on earlier or positioning himself through the debate.

In my humble opinion the rather striking points along her comedy take of the 'binders full of women' incident is heavily lost with the amounts of comparative views with psychopathic situations. The idea does get across though a little buried her well-known persona of the very upset part of the political audience follows through to satisfied regular readers who expect such.

Editorial Experiences

Throughout the editorial from the San Antonio Express newspaper the article goes into the details of the Texas tax system and its need for revision.  Specifically the newspaper gives the example of the Nestle Corporation which challenges the “constitutionality of the state’s margins tax.”  Should the Texas Supreme Court rule in favor of Nestle it would stand to render the Texas primary business tax null and void, costing significant losses in the biennium budget.  The writer carries facts well as they present the information about the significant blow with real estimates of financial loss if the courts favor the large corporation.  The audience the editorial seems to be for the public to take notice of the possible economic change that could occur in the future due to the sway of the Texas Supreme Court’s ruling.   The editorial seems to be a collective editorial board of the San Antonio Express newspaper that wrote the very informative piece with a cautious tone.  The paper appears to be creditable as the facts are verified with simple searches to related articles pertaining to the case, and seem to show less vigilante an attitude while discussing it.  The presented facts are kept clear and simple to the reader yet lack strong opinions on what should be done with specifications to the change in tax margins.  The information given to the severity is however clear and in the long term effects it has precise as well as giving quotes to opinions from respected sources.  Overall the message carries well with the editorial, but could use more examples to support the weakness of such decisions should they made.
