Sometimes it’s hard to be a Clinton
So, we might get ourselves another actor in the White House. Someone from the Law & Order set, no less. That would make a nice change from presidents with a record of cocaine & alcohol abuse - or from those who went on record to say that they did not have sex with interns.
Or maybe not. Even Law & Order ain’t what it used to be, as the behaviour of a certain state trooper made abundantly clear.
More uplifting news came from the Pepsi & Coca Cola companies. They announced that they would no longer have anything to do with (non-essential) animal testing. Which is good news. It might have been even better if they stopped feeding their loathsome beverages to humans as well but you can’t have everything, of course
Still - and it’s a law of nature, or an old charter, or something - but good news must always be followed by a bit of bad business. In this case, it was the announcement that, when a pregnant woman suffers from stress it can harm the foetus.
How nice - and how helpful to share this bit of news with the world at large: this will really help pregnant women not to become stressed, right?
Talking about stress - and women: Hillary is still trying to run a presidential campaign, with leaked memos and all. It seems her advisors told her to skip Iowa. (As if people would really need official advice not to go there…)
Anyway, the rumour that she wanted to avoid Iowa in order to have a relaxing holiday in one of the Baltic republics is not true at all. (If only because the Republicans went there first and prepared the ground for her, in their own subtle way.)
Anyway, forget Iowa. Hillary has other fish to fry. Someone told her that she should show herself in a more feminine light. So, like a loving mother hen, she is maybe not going door to door exactly but she’s definitely reaching out, to that ever-growing group of anxious & stressed single women.
You know, it’s not easy being Hillary. I mean, she’s not in and out of rehab all the time. She hasn’t posed naked in sleazy magazines, nor does she have a history of saying stupid things in public. She doesn’t make a habit out of appointing shady and/or incompetent friends to glamorous jobs and she’s never run a death camp.
Still, so many people really dislike her. First it was for not being wifely enough and then for not divorcing her husband fast enough. Now she’s running for office, of course she gets accused of being cold-hearted, manipulative and self-promoting - in other words, in the eyes of her enemies, she’s guilty of running a campaign.
On the face of it, there’s no real rational reason why, to so many people, voting for Hillary would be a fate worse than French-kissing a dirty toilet seat but then, most people are not really into rationality all that much.
In a world where people kill themselves with soap (taking the message that cleanliness is next to godliness a little bit too literally), go around asking perfect strangers to kick them in the balls, watch reality TV shows and kill people over the amount of sachets of Chilli sauce they get in restaurants (or because someone walks on their lawns), an irrational hatred of Hillary isn’t all that remarkable, of course.
Still, wouldn’t it be fun though, if she actually got elected as the 44th president of the US of A? If only to watch all those millions of Hillary haters, like reversed illegal aliens, try to cross the Mexican border in a free-for-all lemming-like frenzy?
Hmmm, yes - so, if only to annoy her legions of detractors (and as long as she doesn’t actually pick Oprah for her running mate) I’d say, You go, girl.
