5:48 a.m and i’m headed to the airport.
it’s been a while since i’ve woken up while it’s still dark outside
and i can’t for a second say that i miss it at all.
a few hundred million years of evolutionary conditioning has led
my body to rightly believe that waking up before the sun comes up is
somehow wrong in every sense of the word.
but i just saw the south carolina primary results.
wow.
barack beat hillary by 30 points?
he got more votes than mccain and romney comined?
that’s really impressive.
and, i hate to say this, but i found bill clinton’s strident advocacy on behalf
of hillary to be kind of offensive.
i understand they need to use whatever tools are at their disposal,
but bill clinton coming out and attacking barack obama seemed really distasteful, especially
for an ex-president.
maybe i’m outdated in my thinking, but i somehow see ex-presidents as being
dignified and above the fray, sort of like exalted elder statesmen.
so to see bill clinton out being cranky and testy and making things up about barack
and snapping at journalists was kind of disheartening and i don’t think ended up
doing any favors for hillary.
ok, off to the airport.
congratulations to barack on such a huge win.
