Jon Robin Baitz of Huff Po: My Growing Appreciation Of Hillary Clinton

[wyldwolf]

Some months ago I wrote of a run-in I had with Hillary Clinton at an L.A. fundraiser. I watched her on the compulsively entertaining and strangely marvelous Joe Scarborough show last week and found her to be stirring. And then she laughed on FOX like Redford in The Candidate and I liked her even more. The real person was showing up, and she's been running circles around the other would-be nominees. What the hell is happening? Is it that I turned the TV back on, and my brain is no longer whirring away like the dreidel it is?

1. Is it time to throw in the towel?

I don't know how the non-corporate candidate can compete with the republicans. Maybe we should settle for Republican Lite and prepare ourselves for bombing Iran?

2. Do you believe in Bigfoot and the Lochness Monster?

3. No, but LochNess is real and quite impressive..

"Loch Ness is the second-largest Scottish loch by surface area after Loch Lomond at 56.4 km² (21.8 sq mi), but due to its great depth is the largest by volume. It contains more fresh water than all lakes in England and Wales combined. Its deepest point is 230 m (754 feet) <1>, deeper than the height of London's BT Tower at 189 m (620 feet).

Loch Ness is the largest body of water on the Great Glen geologic fault, which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south. The Caledonian Canal, which links the sea at either end of the fault, uses Loch Ness for part of its route."

"Where Urquhart Castle overlooks Loch Ness. It was in its day one of the largest strongholds of medieval Scotland, and remains an impressive structure, splendidly situated on a headland overlooking Loch Ness."

...that is, if you beleive in the "First Laddie."
