Brief Notes on Politics

Brief Notes on Politics

There is much to say, but I’m not in the mood. Barack Obama – Has my vote. He’ll be terrific, and we need him – and a Democratic Congress, too. Teddy Kennedy – Captain, my captain, my forever Senator. Hillary Clinton – Strong, inspiring, gracious. Bill Clinton – Love that man. ‘Nuff said. Joe Biden – Trustworthy. Talk to the people, Joe. And relax. John McCain – Has turned his back on what made him worthy of respect. Sarah Palin…

What about the sexism, Imus?

What about the sexism, Imus?

Ok, Don Imus was in the wrong, like Limbaugh with his feminazis, and Ann Coulter with whatever s/he has said this week, and all the other blowhards who are regularly hateful – and with more ooomph behind it.

You can still be a leader. By the way, this buddying up isn’t helping Hillary’s chances for a presidential run, believe me. You can’t be all things to all people, and it’s time for our leaders to start showing some spine. This administration has undone all the good you did…
