There was a story on NPR this week about the coming Presidential election (shocking, I know) and it was mentioned by a few average joes that your basic white dude doesn't have a candidate on the Democratic side that they can relate to, meaning another white dude. Hillary is white, yes, she certainly has balls and she may very well wear the pants in her family but alas, she is not a man. And Obama is a man and he may not be "black enough" but he does come up short in the "white" department, at least that's what the white dudes think. I was so appalled by the comments made by the disenfranchised white dudes that their love affair with their own mirrored image politicians was over that my only thought is I AM SO SADDENED BY THE THOUGHT THAT YOU HAD TO WAIT OVER TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS TO FACE THIS DILEMMA. Boohoo. All of us non-white-male minorities are just all broken up about it.

With that rant out of the way………….the people watched the Democratic lovefest---er, I think they meant to say debate---last night and the people think the Democrats got a whole lot more going on than their rivals on the right. The GOP debate was flat and uninteresting and it seemed that not even the debaters wanted to be there but the Demo's debate was lively, the answers were well thought out and actually addressed the questions presented, which was a refreshing change over their lackluster opponents. And the two remaining Democrats presented something that hasn't been seen this much in this campaign thus far from either side: professionalism and politeness. Yeah, yeah, I know they were at each other's throats but the people put a stop to that bickering. And with that in mind I am here to announce that it is the people's opinion that our two Democratic front runners have made nice because they plan on running together!

And you have got to LOVE the fact that all those celiberties and beautiful people were there to hear the canididates! Yeah, look! There's the chick from that Ugly Betty show I don't watch! And look! Meathead! The Roommate commented that this debate was taking the place of the Oscar broadcast since the writers are on strike and all. Unfortunately I had a dinner engagement and couldn’t watch the entire broadcast but fear not, we DVR'd it. And yes, it went down in the Nielson's diary, thank you very much.

I absolutely loved one of Hillary's comments in particular. She was asked that if the campaign was all about "change" then why is it that the Bushes, and if she wins, the Clintons will have been two families in power for a two decade span (assuming she doesn't go two terms). Her response was about changes being made and the last name of the president doesn't have to necessarily be one other than in the past several administration, etc, but she did mention that it took a Clinton to clean up the mess left by the first Bush administration and maybe it will take another Clinton to clean up this Bush's mess. Hear, hear! Go get 'em, Hillary.

Oh, and in case you were too distracted with Branglina's "maybe baby" and didn't notice, here's another sign that the economy is sucking even more today than we thought it was sucking yesterday. I said if first(ish) and now you can say it with me R E C E S S I O N. Thanks Prez Bush.
