More on Hillary

By ~LS~ On January 30, 2007 · 1 Comment · In Politics and tagged Tagged With: Hillary, Politics

Commondreams.org trashes Hillary for skipping town on the day of the big anti-war protest in order to launch her presidential campaign in Iowa. They suggest she would make a terrible president because she is behind the times and too centrist.

And, most critically for Hillary Clinton, a desperate yearning on the part of
Americans of all political stripes not for a triangulating “centrist” in the
Clinton mold, but for someone who can show themselves as both attuned and
responsive to the national mood and capable of authenticity and bold
leadership. Hillary Clinton could not be a less appropriate candidate for
2008.

I don’t know what to think. The left thinks Hillary is too centrist and the center thinks she’s too liberal. My fear, and it’s a common one, is that the Left will be too fragmented to get a Democrat into office in [...]

Into the blue again – Blogging from work

By ~LS~ On January 30, 2007 · Add Comment · In I have to work? and tagged Tagged With: BRCC

I can finally blog from work. I can kill a little bit of time in office hours by blogging. This ten-hour-a-week office hour thing really sucks. No one ever comes by. Maybe when we finally start giving speeches, more students will come by then, but for now, my little cubicle is feeling like a cage. And while I’m in a bitchtastic mood, my class schedule really sucks. I really hope that next fall I get a better schedule. These huge blocks of time in between classes are really just annoying.

I’m just flying through material and I don’t have a clue if the students are getting it or not. I feel hamstrung that I can’t make copies of things without spending my own money. I [...]

Thank god people of christian faith are starting to wake up about the War in Iraq. Finally, just as the president’s approval ratings are sinking to historic lows, even the Christian right is turning against the war in Iraq. It reminds me of how neurotic the people at God Camp were about Bush being the annointed president. I wonder how people rationalize this incongruity in their minds. Was God wrong? Is Bush listening to bad advisors? Has Bush fallen from grace? What is the deal? The mental gymnastics that these people must be going through are probably pretty amazing.

Barack Obama might be running on a “move-over boomers” campaign. He’s pitching himself as the next generation of politicians. While it’s a move that I love, being a gen Xer myself, I think it’s a big political mistake. Look what happened to music when the boomers moved over. [...]
