Breaking The Glass Ceiling?

Massachusetts has a new fish and game commissioner - the first woman ever to hold the post.
Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles named Mary Griffin to the post. Bowles described Griffin as “an outdoor enthusiast as well as a seasoned environmental lawyer.”
Griffin is currently acting deputy commissioner at the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and previously served as general counsel to the Secretary of Environmental Affairs.
One small step for woman, one giant leap for womankind?
Are we getting too excited each time a “first to serve” gets to serve?

You can probably stopped now. The person who coined the phrase “I found myself hitting up against a glass ceiling” shattered it at least a decade ago. And the rest of us have been feeling pretty darn equal for a while now.

Thank God the Patrick administration is embracing diversity. Wow, they hired a broad! I think the most important question is- is she hot?
