Comment on The More Things Change...

I was having a drink last evening with two friends - all three of us came to be big Hillary supporters over the course of the primaries, to the point that we were so dismayed by the inexplicable national madness surrounding Obama that we secretly admitted thinking about voting for McCain if Obama was nominated. One of the friends was aghast at Obama's announcement of his own faith-based initiative this week and didn't understand how that represented change. "Oh," I told him "now that he's the nominee and has to win a general election you can forget about all that change business. That was all just bullshit." Which it was.

It's something Hillary would do, and shamelessly I might add, because she's never said that she was holier than thou, or holier than anyone, frankly. (Well, maybe holier than Bill, but that's basically a "gimme".) She's a politician, a smart one, who understands that what being in politics means is you have to get elected to accomplish anything. And that means not only compromising your views alot but also pandering in public to people who would otherwise make you gag.

I'll vote for Obama, and I think he might even be a good President if he puts together the right administration. But let's admit it folks, he totally faked us out! He's basically Hillary in a man's suit. Except, as it turns out, he's even more devious. And man, that is really saying something. Maybe there is something there I can believe in. It ain't change, but you have to admire it.

These are the style of posts that I love from you. :)

"And as I was sitting, reading and scratching, I kind of was looking around and noticing that the only people sitting around in the square were old men and vagrants. And me." And they're looking around and thinking the same thing!

No Pepper didn't like the greenies,

She is now in love with Moist and Meaty.
It's always something with her.

You didn't ask me about farce! I like your post, but I wish you would not spill so many of our secrets. The beauty of MMA is like the hunky straight who doesn't realize how hot he is; being unaware that you are an object of desire for other men makes you even hotter and usually learning your status means you become curious and...yeah, let's just say that you are undermining my fantasy life...

I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy our duck tour and even lunch at Cheers. And I never would have done either if you guys hadn't come!

Hey, by the way, did Pepper enjoy her greenies?

You write it the way it was but we did have a good time. And had been up since 4:00 am . I know family can be a pain. We did want to see your garden and your home and we really came to see you and your friends. They were nice to have us and to put up with us. Boston as so much history and I had already been though it. Be thankful we didn't stay a week. Love means alway putting up with family.

Weeding IS therapy.

By the way... I was re-reading Mark Doty last night, and realized the gardens he so poetically describes are your Fenway plots. Nice to have a physical point of reference for the ephemera.

Our ghetto daylilies are beginning to bloom; means summer is heading into the downswing. Seems so unfair after it just all began. After an unusual spring here in Chicago, which has been glorious for the belles of the season, we now look for the char-women of the garden to pull us through: Zinnias, Dahlias, Buddleia and those buck-tooth girls from the other side of the tracks -- Morning Glories & their night-walking older sisters, the Moon Flowers.

Thanks again for the garden posts.

Yeah, my mother and my aunt loved Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. And the Duck Tour was fun. You're absolutely right about going with whatever works. My aunt (God love her) has a very effective way of letting you know what doesn't. I think the technical term for it is, um, caterwauling.
