Note to Bill Clinton: Shut your trap

Would someone please tell Bill Clinton to shut his mouth. I understand the desire to stand by your spouse in his/her run for an office, but his interference is costing Hillary an audience. Truthfully, I haven't or hadn't made up my mind about which way I would vote with regards to a Democratic party candidate. Hillary sounds like a war hawk. Obama has less experience on the Capitol. Neither one sways me one way or the other. Well that was the case until Bill decided to get in the spotlight with his foot in his mouth and attempt to sling mud on Obama's name. He has crossed the line between supporting spouse and running candidate. Who's running for office? Is it him or Hillary? Oh and Bill, no you were never the first Black president. You bent over for the Republicans and didn't back up your people when it counted. Remember Surgeon General Joyce Elders and Attorney General nominee Lani Guinier?

Frankly watching their behaviour during the debates and the caucus stumping has put them on my bad side. The Clintons like to play the gender card, while accusing Obama of playing up his race, even though most of their speeches has them introducing the topic into conversations. I don't care to see either of the Clintons back in the White House. Here's a man who couldn't keep his pants zipped up (and don't give me that he's only human crap --- we have big brains for a reason) and a wife who didn't have enough sense to leave him or keep his ass in check (blacklights are good at spotting invisible stains on trouser openings and underwear; watch Forensic Files and learn a thing or two).

I'm ready for someone new and not yet jaded/corrupted, someone like Obama. He may be inexperienced, but with the right people behind him (just make sure you do background checks on your people to weed out the embezzlers and other con-artists), he cannot do worse than Bush -- well, unless there's a conspiracy to screw him over, as well as the public (which is totally possible).

If against all common sense, Hillary becomes the candidate, I cannot say for sure that I will even vote Democratic.

Back from hiatus

Let me just say to the women out there, protect your knees in sports at all costs. My knee dislocation, which apparently is becoming more and more common in women athletes, escalated into a torn ACL, a few months ago. I've just had it repaired/replaced along with some other work in the knee. Coming back from this injury is taking all the strength that I have in me. No, seriously. I feel so tapped out, I can't take it. I will be so happy to be walking unassisted once again.

Happy New Year!

Here's a prayer for a more peaceful, fruitful and healthy year.
