Autumn Lawn Ornaments

We put our Autumn lawn ornaments out a little early. May I add... I'm at your service Senator Obama.

Something Went Wrong in the Primaries...

So lately I've been pondering how we got to this point. It's Obama vs McCain for President... if I'd said that last year I would be laughed at but here we are, and I'm starting to connect the dots, and the picture that's forming show me that someone's carefully orchestrated plans didn't go as they...

You would think that this was a given.

The press is spinning this as meaning the end of any hope for Senator Clinton to be Senator Obama's running-mate. Senator Hillary Clinton will be the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, August 26th - the second night of the convention. August 26, 2008 is also the 88th...

Chicago. Part One.

"Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have -- Cincinnati sounds worse." Heh. Some background: Hillary and I are friends from graduate school. We met when we were the first students to show up at orientation. It was bascially, "you're oddly punctual as well! We're going to make...

Thursday Hodge Podge

Tennis Lessons Last night was my final tennis lesson (at least for this class). It was by far my favorite of the class, mostly because someone brought margaritas to the potluck and somehow that made my useless serve a little better. I am going to take the beginner lessons one more time along with a...

With Supporters and Advisors Like This, Who Needs Swiftboating?

Recent comments by Charles R. Black Jr., a key advisor to Senator John McCain have sparked a firestorm that is being fanned by the Senator Barack Obama’s camp. Mr. Black merely stated that a terrorist attack during the campaign would strengthen Senator McCain’s presidential bid. The real...

The Trouble With the Pairing of Barack And Hillary

Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are to begin campaigning together. The question is will this be a good thing for each one of them and for us who have to watch the whole thing. I am not sure it is the best thing for any of us. First let’s look at how this is bad for Senator Obama. Having...

Some Freshness since I bit part of the last entry...

from and email Rah sent me. So to make up for it, I don't wanna Kick Hillary when shes down...But DAMN this came up before she ever "Fell Back"

Hillary Speaks in Washington, DC June 7

I trust her leadership, that's why I voted for her in the first place. Hillary thanks her supporters for all their hard work on the campaign and endorses Senator Barack Obama for president.

Hillary Clinton Rap: MY WAY

Hillary bows out of the campaign with a final rap.

Hillary's Failure

I posted the following comment on Dave Winer's "Did HRC lose to sexism?" post on his site, scripting.com: It's deflecting the truth, embracing the victim mentality, and dismissing responsibility. I'm tired of hearing from a minority of women that their failures are due to sexism and not the fact...

Hillary Concedes

I love Hillary. I always have. When everyone hated her I held a great admiration for her. When people began to open up to her I loved her. And now that she has run for president and is now conceding and standing behind Obama in support of his campaign as president of the United States I love her. I...

To Hillary or not to Hillary? That is the Question.

Just as everyone was beginning to hear a steady flow of media stating that it probably would not be a good idea for Senator Barack Obama to pick Senator Hillary Clinton as a running mate for the presidential elections the voters in the party have thrown a monkey wrench into the program. A CNN...

2 thoughts and a postscript

Thought 1. I was watching cable news and a reporter was reporting from outside Hillary's house and saying how he had been there since 5.30 that morning and absolutely no one had left the house. At the same time the breaking news was that Hillary and Obama were meeting at the very moment. I had a...

My Analogy to Explain Why I am not Happy with Our Government or the Parties

I was thinking about our government and the stalemate that we are in and I thought of an analogy. What if the goal of the government next week was to screw in a light bulb. Senator Obama would give an awesome speech about the equality of all light bulbs and discuss how he is going to get everybody...

Our Government: Running Things or Running the Wrong Way

Our government is caught up in elections, partisan politics, and all other kinds of political blah, blah, blah. The problem is that there are no plans to help American Citizens with the troubles we are having now and our government on all sides is caught up in ridiculous distractions that do...

O!M! FREAKIN!!! G!!!!!

As the election cycle has progressed, I've really held my tounge. But last night's non-concession speech, though not unexpected, was a disappointment to me. And I kept reading about Hillary's request to tell her what to do. Then I saw a blog commentor who was disgusted because she went to...

Thoughts on a Obama (and Hillary)- hopes, fears and change

Edited from this morning's journal: Jon invited me over to Gen and Alex’s to watch Obama give his acceptance speech- which was brilliant and honest and real, btw. No matter what happens, nothing can change what happened last night. Nothing. It is reality. It is now part of our history. It signals...

Nobody's Business: Three Facts about Hillary Clinton

Hillary as our VP

OK, so I read the article on CNN, she's basically had it (even though she hasn't said so), but at least there is the chance of becoming Vice President. I think this is a step in the right direction. Obama and Hillary both must know that the party has been divided by all this inter-party politics. So...
