The End of the Act

"So I haven't written in this blog in a while" - I'm sure the most common sentence to appear on the internet. There I said it but didn't say it. In my case I also hadn't read it in a while. I'm surprised at how much the tone of the last post made me sound like I thought Hillary Clinton was a calculated bitch. Regardless of whether I believe that or not doesn't matter because I never intended for the blog to imply that being a calculated bitch was necessarily a bad thing. I just think the calculated bitch persona is better served in the Senate than the white house. I also do not intend there to be any gender distinction at all with the use of the word bitch. Male presidents can be bitches too, but man I have seen some good shit come out of Hillary at 2pm on C-span 2 in the Senate. I know I saw a speech of her flipping out at the audacity of President Bush to consider rushing into a premature war when he had already over spent by 3 trillion dollars in just the last six months. It was almost inspiring. I say lets keep her in the senate. I like her there. Let her do her thing. Let her vote for a war that she didn't believe in but speak up about it loudly in the months leading up to it. I am cool with that. In the meantime I'm going to try to figure out why I am so happy that she is not the presumptive nominee.
