Hillary

 
Hello again. Sorry I haven't written lately, but I had a chance to fly out to California. And, well, a visit to the Coast and its beautiful beaches, plus a little jaunt inland, to the high desert, then on down to Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage...who could resist this vacation during the dead of March in our cooler climbs? It was cool out there of course, but you know what kind of "cool" I'm referring to, do you not?

I didn't spot Hillary anywhere out there. She's on the campaign trail you know. Speaking, speaking,

speaking until she grows hoarse and sounds like Tallulah Bankhead. Remember Tallulah? She'd say anything. And she was from the South too. She was one of those famous southern iron butterflies they speak about with awe. Her rhetoric was so provocative and sensational. She was also very understanding and forgiving of men and their little piccolos. Oh no, sorry, that's wrong, I mean "little peccadilloes."

But never you mind, the point is that Hillary is expanding her fight for the White House with the kind of zeal that is the zeal of one of those famous stalwart southern iron butterflies, plus! She is a southern belle and she's ringing out, saying the most extravagantly negative things about Barack Obama, her rival in the race towards the goal of becoming president. Some of us grand motherly types are quite upset about this. Barack's preacher friend misspoke and, wow, Hillary was all over the reverend's terrible remarks. They were simply outrageous and unforgivable, according to her fine sensibility. But when Hillary herself misspoke, well then, that was just a tiny misremembered almost nothing; no big deal. She is, as she said, "only human." It's all so sad. I mean the woman tends to overstate her daring adventures!

So, now, my dears, I think it's time for my nap. Yes, we do nap up here in heaven. We get very tired out listening, listening, listening, all of the time, to what is going on down there. The campaign trail is especially exhausting and, of course, some of us are assigned to monitor every single word said. "Taxing" is what it is and that's putting it mildly.

Nighty night and love to you all,
Your very own,
