Such is the nature of the most interesting president of my lifetime
I watched Clinton's speech last night. It was amazing. As a speaker he is demonstrably deft and skillful. He spoke with emotion and intelligence. With humor and self-reflection. He spoke of hope and optimism and made me believe it. He said, "America works better when all people have a chance to live their dreams." As my girlfriend Dana said, "I don't even know what that means, but it sounds great." He had rhythm, he showed real emotion when he spoke of 9/11. He was self-deprecating. He was compassionate and understanding, strong and unyielding all in the same speech. I felt like it was the first time any politician actually spoke to me in years. And then this exchange took place:
(TV flashes a picture of an small, wrinkled, ancient woman standing in the front row and applauding)
D: Who's that?
Me:(giggling) He's bangin' her.
Shrug.

Say you were the phantom gourmet food critic and you couldn't tell anyone . Like you couldn't even tell your singnificant other. Then you would just go out to what she thinks is your office job, but you would just come every day fatter and fatter. And when you were eating at home, you would randomly take a bite and declare, "I give it an 8."

Pet Anecdote Alert:
There is alot of work to be done around the house right now, and we're doing it ourselves because we are conducting an experiment concerning the exact level of incompetance a home can take before it collapses. So I'm working the other night and the case for my drill is open behind me and I happen to turn and see the dog (1 dog 3 cats at home) snuffling madly inside my drill case. I figure out why she is snuffling madly which leads me to yell the following:
"There are two things I do not need right now: I do not need anyone puking in my drill case and I do not need the dog to eat it. "
On the bright side, she did help with clean up a little. Love having pets.
