I'm a hillary fan. I don't know why, probably subconsciously because she's a woman and I've tended to trust women in power more so than men. I try to justify it with her politics, but really she's the same as Barack. Their politics are pretty much the exact same thing to the letter.

And this is getting stressfl

I can totally get behind that logic, because I do think that women are usually better than men, but I just feel some magic affinity for Obama.

I'm literally not going to work today (because I don't have a class today), and I don't have rehearsal because everyone has a conflict, so I have been watching CNN on one tv and playing videogames on another all day. These are the ways that I combat stress (I would make a terrible 9-to-5ver).

don't let yourself get poisoned by cnn's bullshit though, I feel like the way they - and all the other big networks - have spinned the election politics have been really awful, both racist and sexist.

I've totally got the OBAMA DRAMA all up in my shit! So excited about him. I recently read an article about one of his speech writers, who's like 26 and really cute. seriously. made me sick.

On to Hillbilly...I'm not a fan, and i kind of hate her. not quite sure why. I think part of it for me is that she's more conservative than she's letting on, and I really hated the whole crying incident. that shit pissed me off because she was all "i'm just so worried about our country! sniff!" which I felt was staged and ultimately complicit with the sexist media bullshit surrounding her campaign. anyway. that's my two cents.

oh, I want a lj update soon about the grad school campaign! I got the burfy herpe (or something similar to obama fever)!

i think there have been two absolutely brilliant speeches made in my lifetime so far. one was bill clinton's 2004 democratic convention speech which you MUST read here:

and the other was conan o'brien's 2000 harvard commencement speech found here:
