Pitching a Big Tent (though in reality 6 inches tops)

What a surprise, such diversity:

At the top of House committees, it’s a man’s world.

Not a single woman will lead any of the major House committees in the 113th Congress.

Time for more hearings about lady-parts.

There's LOTS of diversity! You've got old white guys, younger white guys, white guys with dark hair, white guys with grey hair, and white guys with very little or no hair. Whatcha talkin' about, no diversity? (Snark)
