“I know where I'm headed.”

'Cause if you really want to hear MWR's views . . .



This is the 75th entry over more than 2-1/2 years to bear the "Hillary Clinton" label. I'd like to claim that the tenor of these has evolved in a way that does credit to my thoughtfulness and my open-minded nature. But the fact is, I might have written the phrase "arrogant, vindictive, snake-like nature" yesterday (not) or at the very beginning (indeed).

The entries will taper off quickly. Though her departure was writ months ago, it continues in slow motion like the end of a bad dream. I shake out the cobwebs and realize I'm never going to be called upon to vote for her, and it's every bit as satisfying as grasping that there is no calculus test in three days, I didn't inadvertently kill that person, my Leica wasn't stolen from that luggage in Switzerland, etc. We all have our nightmares.

From the blog of a man after your own heart, James Kunstler:

"It was a relief, at long last, to see the odious Hillary step aside on Saturday -- though she could not have engineered a more self-glorifying exit. There is talk, all of a sudden, about a President Obama perhaps stashing Hillary in the Supreme Court seat currently occupied by Ruth Badar Ginsburg, whose health is failing. I'd like to see Hillary packed off there. It would get her out of the senate. You can't really grandstand on the Supreme Court. The nation -- if it remains a nation -- could forget about her."

Lord, what fun it would be to see Hillary on the Supreme Court. Would Snake Averse Boy ever get over it?

I'd have no special problem with having her on the Supreme Court. She has a lot of potential to be a great Justice, and a seat on the Court would effectively remove her from the public eye as a politician and participant in events. Which is why, I'm sure, she's not going to be very excited about the Supreme Court idea.
