My personal multiyear-long boycott of BP ended today when I literally ran out of gas and it was the only reasonably close station. I bought the bare minimum of less than $10 of gas, enough to get to another station but not much more. I still feel kind of sick.

Has Hilary declared her candidacy or is she still doing that "maybe I will, maybe I won't" crap? Also if she doesn't run are we going to get John Kerry again? Because I would love a Kerry/Romney campaign.

I thought it was politics (everyone knows she's running but the opposition can't roll out the really big guns without looking crass until she declares) but financial reasons works better than my idea. Yeah, Hillary's running, but she's not going to declare until she wants to.

She really is for better or worse. The people we'd really like to see in power on the left are doing better work in the Senate and likely wouldn't survive the Cold Warriors' fears of SOCIALISM! anyways. Besides, HIllary's an OLD DC hand who knows how to work the Oval Office from working with her husband. Besides, watching the old farts howl and scream when a woman elected to power following a black man will be delicious.

Well based on one of the right-wing talking points from back in the 90s, she's already served two terms as President and they were pretty loving great. That last part was NOT one of the right wing talking points.

fade5 posted:Also this. Once Hillary starts campaigning (and leading all her potential Republican opponents in the polls by at least 5 points) you're going to see some prime loving rage and misogyny that's been pent-up since the 90's. Hell, they're probably not even going to wait until then; the Republican hatred of Hillary is legendary. Oh, I'm pretty sure they've already started on the misogyny. Of course once she actually declares it's going to be turned up so high the drat knob falls off.
