"  Today in deeply satisfying women&amp;#039;s rights news: Sandra Fluke, the activist lawyer who was called a slut by Rush Limbaugh and bashed by a handful of other misogynistic jerks during her testimony for free birth control for college students, has begun the process of running for Congress in California (via the Washington Post). Fluke is up against some pretty solid candidates. Wendy Greuel \u2014 who got national attention last year during her run for mayor of Los Angeles, a win that would&amp;#039;ve made her the first female mayor of a major US city \u2014 is also bidding for the open seat, as is Ted Lieu, a current California senator. As is, well, just about every politician in California. The state&amp;#039;s Democratic Party will begin considering which candidate it will endorse this weekend and will announce an official endorsement at the party&amp;#039;s convention next month.
