Gen-Xer Runs for President

By ~LS~ On February 8, 2007 · Add Comment · In Generations, Politics and tagged Tagged With: Age, Generations, Hillary, Obama, Politics

The more I hear about Barack Obama, the more he sounds like a gen Xer to me. This is most probably the effect of selective perception, I admit, but he -is- in his mid-forties. Tody in The American Prospect, Harold Meyerson writes about Obama’s pitch to the DNC, along with Hillary and Edwards. He quotes Obama as expressing concern for the “debasing of the public sphere.” That, of course, hit home for me as a Rhetorical Studies person. It’s interesting that all the typical public address statements about concern for the public sphere revolve on the whole balkanization (from which, admittedly, the Democratic Party does suffer), and now we live in a nearly facist state where the decline of public debate lies at the foot of censorship. Of course, NCA-style rhetoricians are also concerned about free speech and open debate, so I recognize I’m overstating the age gap here. [...]

My husband seriously rocks. Ruth’s Chris? Excellent. They cook their steaks in butter. Calorie count? Food for a week for a family of New Millennial beggars in Lagos, Nigeria (if you don’t understand that joke, it’s because you don’t realize blogs are daily-ish, so read back a few days). Seriously. Most important, though? MY PRESENT! AN ENGAGEMENT RING! I was shocked to silence (I’m never quite). Steve and I eloped to Las Vegas, see. I never got an engagement ring, see. I have a great wedding ring story, but that’s for another time. So, OMG, IT’S FUCKING HUGE. The engagement ring, that is, see.

On another note, turning 40 made me reflect once again on grrl stuff on the web, which I already wrote about in some journal entry here somewhere. Whatever. Anyway, I went scouting for some chickclick affiliate sites and I found some of the graphics, at [...]

Birthday Catchup Blog Entry

I woke up this morning to balloons, a birthday bouquet, and a cup of coffee. Life is good. I got email greetings from a bunch of folks including one from the cleaning chick and another funny one from Joshie. This afternoon I will have Gambino’s gourmet birthday cake. Tonite I am going to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. When I lived in Austin as an undergrad, my roommate (coincidentally, her name was Ruth) told me that she heard Ruth’s Chris steakhouse, which was a Texas-based chain, was named after Ruth’s husband (or maybe her son…) who ran the steakhouse and then died, so Ruth kept the name in honor of him. Once, I mentioned this to Tracy who pshawed at me and told me Ruth was from New Orleans. So I looked it up on the web today and found out that not only was Tracy right, but Ruth [...]
