Making History

Friday, Jun. 06, 2008 - 12:40 a.m.

Symptom report: This is weird. The palms and fingers of my hands are peeling.

Not the back where the halr follicles are, but just the palms and fingers.

Ew.

Although I'm ovulating this week, and technically my activity of late should have caused hair instead.

Courtesy of the CBC, here are a couple of links about Barack Obama.

Here's a biography.

And over here is a set of pictures.

There's a considerable push from certain factions of the US media to pair up Obama with Clinton, but according to the CBC, Clinton doesn't want to be VP.

(Oh, bother, the aforementioned link apparently quit working within about fifteen minutes of being posted; here's a link directly to Google News Canada, with the relevent search terms.)

Gotta say I loved the FARK headline, though: "Barack Obama spending the evening at Hillary Clinton's house. Agenda to include a pint of Ben & Jerry's, a good cry, and a spirited pillowfight."

So, who should be Obama's running mate?

As long as we're making history, let's blow the lid off the joint.

Colin Powell.

No Friday Five has been posted yet. I'll play when it is.

Have a good day!

The "Clinton doesn't want to be VP" link is broken. :-( I've read so many reports, frankly; that I don't know what to believe. Perhaps if we want to *really* blow the lid off the joint, how about a transsexual or transgender for the poential VP slot... Pun intended. :-O

I'll be the VP. :D ... but seriously, the media has to stop playing with themselves. 'Hillary's going to quit. No, she's not. She's pushing to be VP. No, she isn't. She's going to quit Thursday. Friday. Saturday. She's going to support Obama ...'

Well, who knows who the VP will be. Everyone can speculate. All I can say is she succeeded on many levels despite not winning the spot on the ticket and for that we can all be proud. Barack will also continue to succeed on many levels as he already has (and yes art, sorry but he DOES have a substantial amount of experience politically!). Should be an interesting next six months!
