Image credit: Photo by BGLewandowski on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons I rashly went out Halloween costume shopping a few days ago. I'm not sure what I was thinking. Well, I know I needed to pick up a costume for my daughter — Yes, a few days shy of Halloween. I'm totally on top of [...]

Five Questions from the Maven
The Maven (and believe me, if you don't know the Maven, you should) was playing the interview game on her blog. I know I've done some variation of this like 5000 times in the past year, but it's always fun, and in this case, it got the Maven to e-mail me some words she handpicked [...]
My Vote
Image credit: Photo bymacwagen on FlickrLicensed under Creative Commons It's the day of elections here in the U.S., and I'm ready to vote as soon as the kids get home from school. Mark thinks I'm crazy, but I'm taking the two of them with me to the polls. He shook his head this morning and [...]

I Am Hillary Clinton
This post is the fifth in a series on how I came to be where I am around the current election,and the first in a series of posts about the candidates themselves. I fell in love with Hillary Clinton during the 1992 presidential election. I hadn't been out of college long and was just starting [...]
And While We’re on the Subject of Politics (or Not)
It sometimes takes me a long time to get around to things. If you've been in touch with me by e-mail, you know how this works. Sometimes I write you right back. Sometimes, months after the fact, when you've forgotten you've ever written, I pop you a note back. And sometimes (although you don't see [...]
This Is Not about Politics
I spent the whole weekend obsessing about the US election. Obsessing. Couldn't stop thinking about it. I was having emotional reactions that were way out of proportion to any actual events. And I felt terrible. By yesterday afternoon I was in the throes of a migraine, making good on my threat that if I didn't [...]
Excuse Me for Not Healing on Demand
A while back several of you asked how I was doing in the wake of Hillary's loss of the nomination to Obama. I'm still not ready to talk about it, but this Doonesbury cartoon (from Thursday, July 31) pretty much sums up where I am right now. Apologies for not posting the comic here, but [...]
Today I Wanted to Slap Obama for Being a Man
I was going to write a followup (or two or three) on yesterday's post about my son, but that will have to wait for tomorrow, because as I was driving home from dropping my daughter off at school, I heard something on the radio that spun me off into political rant mode. So, I cruised [...]
House, Hillary and an Honesty Oxymoron
You all know how the song goes: honesty is such a lonely word. Yep, and everyone is so untrue. Or to take us into the current century and an entirely different pop culture icon: Everyone lies. Tell me that you never lie, and like House, I'll tell you you're lying. Yet, if you're anything like [...]
