Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Thinking how sad it is that so many prosecutors r smarmy, manipulative, untrustworthy bullies. Many r also whiny babies & sore losers. Sad.

Misogyny Insanity

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Listening to the NPR tell me that groups of Hilary Clinton supporters are going to vote for McCain if Obama becomes the Democratic candidate. Exqueeze me? You think the media and the Democratic leadership have been unfair to Clinton because she’s a woman, so your response is to vote for yet another old white male who believes far less of what you believe than does Obama? This is a strategy? This is reasonable? This makes any sense whatsoever?

I don’t think Hilary should stop this madness because I’m a misogynist. I think Hilary should stop this madness because she’s encouraging the kind of insanity voiced by these supporters. She could easily have put an end to this weeks ago by simply saying, ok, it’s not going to happen this year, let’s all get behind Obama. She could have done that w/a great deal of dignity, she could have claimed victory in many ways, and she could have kicked McCain in the balls by helping to further unify the Democratic party. Instead, she fights on, encouraging extremism and division w/in her own party, and for what?

As the NPR story says, someone has to lose. If you want to say that Hilary lost because too many people just want to keep women down, well, ok. So does that mean Obama won because so many people want to lift black men up? Could it be Obama ran a better campaign? Could it be his speeches and positions on issues just resonated more with more voters? Could that even be possible?

Nah, No way. It’s all about woman-bashing. Absolutely.

Grrr.

  • Stranger than fiction or fictional strangers:

    But it's really super fun to work on a case in which the prosecutor and defense are sniping at each other to the point where it boils down to one side saying, "Judge, that's not the law." "That is the law." "That's not the law." "That IS the law. I WILL SHOW YOU THE LAW." ⇒
