Pied Pipers and miracles…

Posted in Mike Huckabee, barack obama, election 2008, miracles on February 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been having serious arguments about Obama lately with his faithful, who seem absolutely besotted by him.
Huckabee has said that “he majored in miracles,” and I think that Obama appeals on the same level – his supporters are hoping for magic.
Which is why Oprah, with all her self realization rhetoric, [...]

“ U R con-fuzing meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” bff Mary emailed me this AM. I had just spent 45 minutes the day before attempting to steady her wavering resolve to vote for Hillary in Tuesday’s Primary, then I forwarded an email from another friend who is trying to get out the vote for Obama. What gives? [...]

My tell tale – or is it bleeding – heart

But every time I hear him say something that’s not about the Clinton’s, I get seriously annoyed. Today it was a newsbite from a stump speech in South Carolina. Obama was talking about education. He said something along the lines of how there are lots of ways to make the educational system better [...]

Do you know what it feels like for Hillary?

This week I started riding in a work-sponsored van pool. Listening to music with my eyes closed instead of battling stop and go traffic to and from work is a luxury that offsets the 6:10AM departure time, and I love getting home early enough to see the late afternoon sun making the rooms in [...]

My theory about Obama in Iowa…

Posted in Iowa caucus, POST, barack obama on January 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Iowa is made up mostly of white guys. White guys don’t like strong women. White guys like to think of themselves as the Great White Friend to the Black Man. In the final analysis, they’d rather vote for a black man than a woman.
Actually when I was under 30, I would have [...]

I happened to be watching the Today Show this AM when my favorite female drag queen Tyra Banks was on, swinging her long silky tresses and promoting her upcoming interview with Barack Obama.
