A Sudden Political Moment

[serinde]

I was walking up Lex towards campus this morning and there were news trucks all over in front of the main building. "Oh shit," thought I, "we got a school shooter after all." No, in fact, The Hillary was speaking on campus this morning. It seems that someone sent mail to the all-students blast list, but no one notified faculty or staff.

Odd that she'd be campaigning in NY at this late date.

The lo cal news seems to indicate she needs a shot of affirmation.

Why she'd come here, specifically, which is pretty heavily pro-Obama, I do not know.

Hey, ask her why she suddenly stopped calling our house AFTER the primaries! It's like she just wanted our vote or something...

Lordy, I don't want her to start again. I'm sick to Christ of political spam of all kinds.

Dunna feel bad...she was in Parma yesterday, up my street at a crappy homestyle restaurant.
Me, I'm so Barackupied, I could care less about Hilary. I loved the 'just words' spack down, and I look forward to a day when we might have a president that can actually speak in public without getting a glazed, 'deer in the headlights' looks.

I heard it on the news and thought of you. I think she was just in the neighborhood, close to home, licking her wounds.

What's interesting is that the mail to the students' list was sent from the Clinton campaign and it was apparently a fundraiser, not a stump speech. Manfred's all over it, and it looks like being hugely and entertainingly embarrassing for whoever OK'd it.

Comfy chair at the ringside, anyone?
