rabbling about hillary, again
god i'm slow, i know. i've got a dog's breakfast in the works that includes such hits as the deadline conga line and cat burglar blues. but for now, politics. again.
a reworked version of an earlier post was published on rabble last week - not as commentary, like other times, but as news. what the? since when does my unyielding obsession with the democratic presidential nomination qualify as news? um, thanks. i'm simultaneously tickled and daunted about having been asked to 'cover' the us elections for rabble this year. don't tell anyone, but we're even trying to figure out how to finance and get credentialed for the republican and democratic national conventions where i'd probably get thrown out of all kinds of press rooms for chair-wetting or obnoxious outbursts or some such inappropriateness. i'll take my chances.
anyways, my dad says i'm too hard on hillary. i think other perhaps less forward people in my life would agree with him. screw all of you. why can't i stop questioning hillary? why can't any of us?
but for the record, and for the love of all things rational: not supporting hillary is not an attack on feminism. the generational chasm on this point is palpable. and worrisome. to all the haters who would insist that anyone with a pair of ovaries and progressive dna should support hillary or be sent to exile island: i am a so-called ‘third wave’ feminist. i find it difficult to identify with c

Apparently the workload is so heavy you have't even managed to blog about Obama clinching the nomination. Wow. That's scary.
i know, right?! then again, it all seems a bit anti-climactic at this point. it'll be interesting to see over the next short while how clinton will choose to position herself for the general campaign to come, and how. there may still be fodder to be had. meanwhile, back at the self-imposed sweatshop, i at least managed to meet that weird convergence of deadlines in the past couple of days, so back in the oh so energizing obama saddle.
