Can This Be True...?

hello, my lovelies....

i can't believe i logged on today and it's been a week since my last entry! so much has happened!

hillary won big last tuesday when she took both texas and ohio. and i was in a splendid mood the morning after before wednesday turned into a spectacularly shitabulous day.

and then thursday followed suit. and friday....

nothing in the political world. in fact - everything was going hillary's way. it was all work bullshit.

but something else has happened, my loyal readers. and i can't believe it to be true.

i think i'm burned out on politics.

YES! i know....!

i've sat down... i've taken a deep breath. several. i've even popped a variety of lovely colored pills.

nothing seems to help.

i'm simply worn out. and this is not a good time for me. i was elected a precinct delegate and i must attend the senate precinct convention on march 29th in order to further my support of hillary.

i was thrilled to get this honor.... and i have one tidbit to share about the experience which i will save for the end.

but since then.... i'm just over it.

samantha power? whatever...the dumbshit. don't call hillary a "monster." you lost your job. well done...

(interesting side note: i watched the documentary no end in sight over the weekend. guess who was interviewed for it? ms. power.... kind of a kooky koincidence.)

but my urge to talk about it has passed....

everyone talking about hillary still in the race...? yeah - all about it. but i can't seem to bring myself to read it.

and besides.... after two "blah" wins in mississippi (just now) and wyoming (who the fuck cares?) - the press is all ready to dust off the term "obamamentum."

i coined the phrase "obamath" last week after reading an article that shows if you take all the states obama has won and add up the electoral delegates he would accumulate in the general election come november... he would never win the presidency. however...if you take the electoral votes hillary would get from the big-ass states she's won... she's well on her way.

but obama has the momentum.

it did, however, lead me to create my new slogan for hillary...and i give it openly to the campaign: "hillary '08! because size does matter."

but again... no real enthusiasm to read up on all these thoughts.

and now my woman (you know i'm in love with all trail-blazing women. except, maybe, aileen wuornos) geraldine ferraro (whom i just brought up in conversation the other day (i'm suddenly obsessed with parenthetical phrases IN parentheses)) comes out and says that obama wouldn't be where he's at today if he weren't black and in response to criticism over her comments... she basically said "if anyone takes the obama campaign to task about their perceived trajectory - you're labeled a racist. well it works both ways... they're racist for calling me a racist... how 'bout them apples?"

again...i paraphrase. but she did end with a "how 'bout that?" kind of remark... so clearly she is poking fun. but everyone is in an uproar.

and everything has come down to race.... and gender... and i'm really fucking sick of it.

i just see all of this tearing apart the party.

i was all ready to talk about the times article that reminds people of how lackluster barack has been in the senate.

lest we also forget that he only made it to congress because his opponents self-destructed in the illinois democratic primary. does anyone remember mr. ryan wanting to swap jeri ryan in a sex club? i mean, don't get me wrong... i'm all on board with that... she's hot!

but after the potential desire for a spanky swap by mr. ryan hit the press, obama was made the dem nominee almost by default. and who did he run against? alan fucking keyes! wow! BIG upset....

but just typing this has made me exhausted....

i can't imagine this nomination process going all the way through june. and coming down to another fucking recount in florida.

and i can't imagine all the idiotic nonsense the media will focus on every single day until the final vote in puerto rico is counted.

thank god for a momentary break courtesy of governor spitzer. (oh - and should he be forced to resign when the GOP hasn't forced louisiana senator david vitter to resign after his hooker hanky panky?)

what i'm trying to say is i'm tired, my lovelies.... i'm losing my political spark.

maybe i need some hot, young dem to sweep me off my feet and take me to a midnight showing of primary colors?

god, i love kathy bates.

but i think i'll take another self-imposed hiatus from political entries. in fact, i think i'll immediately follow this one up with a non-political entry.

but before i go...i promised you (and this woman) that i would talk about one thing.

political coda
at the caucus within my district last week.... obama won by a slight margin. despite my meager situation, i do live around a rather affluent neighborhood.

through years of repressed guilt associated with their wealth and their continued non-action in helping out the black community...all the rich honkies in my precinct did vote for obama.

we smaller, mostly feminist voters...caucused for hillary.

as i mentioned...i was elected a delegate. and so was a twenty-something-year-old woman named melinda.

we discussed the make-up of our district and our disappointment that all the hot guys remained inside with obama's group. and after some discussion of the obamamentum (i really fucking hate that term) melinda said, "i blame my generation."

i looked at her and said, "i blame your generation too."

and she went on to lay out her very interesting theory that i had not heard from anyone else. obama's power over the young vote is all due to marketing.

yes! this makes sense to me.

as she said, "mine is the first generation that has known nothing but marketing. we've been marketed to all our lives. i wear these cute, flat shoes. i don't know why...! but i wear them." and she talked about how obama has done nothing but market to the younger generation and how hillary has done no marketing towards them.

of course they're flocking in droves to obama! they watch laguna beach for chrissakes!

anyway... great theory. had to share.

and that...for now... is that.

i think. (i should really make no promises... anything could happen. maybe a good piece of chocolate cake?)

hillary '08!
