From the Fired Up! inbox:

Turn, if you will, to page B3B of today's (Feb. 1)  Wall Street Journal to see the full page ad, "2005 Businessmen of the Year." Observe the 1,800 or so names, grouped by state, who are hereby recognized by the Business Advisory Council and the National Republican Congressional Committee (which bought the ad) as leaders "who have successfully integrated business and financial success with the support of Republican ideals."

Thought I, naively, "the use of the term 'businessmen' must merely be a stylistic convention. Surely they found at least one successful business woman who coughed up enough bucks to join!"

 Nope. Nary a one, best I can tell. All guys.

Maybe all the businesswomen had enough sense to be scared off by all the corruption.
