Phillary

"Could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those Art Museum stairs and said, 'Well, I guess that’s about far enough?' Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up."

What more fitting venue than Philadelphia, PA for Hillary to spout such rhetorical trope? Still set on hanging tough, I see, notwithstanding the inevitable outcome.

If memory serves, Rocky lost. The black dude won.

Balboan doggedness or Quixotian fantasy ... either way, you have to give the lady props for keeping the blinders on. God bless her.

Maybe she didn't see the movie, I don't know. Doesn't she have people, though, to check out such things? I'd reckon that there are some less-than-favorable performance evaluations forthcoming.

    Doug R,
    Is Bill Hilary's Mickey? I can see her in the freezer boxing meat.

    Her "people" are busy watching Bill and chick flicks. (Yes, I said it.)

    Hey, I watch chick flicks, don't be a hater! Although I'd probably broaden my cinematic horizons a bit if my job depended on such.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
