Right now I feel like one of those people who *scoff* totally loved that band when they first came out and now that their 3rd album blew up and they're all over the place, I feel privileged for having always appreciated their brilliance. Or something. #hillaryclinton

People are about to get both served as well as told.

She is an amazing executive; as Secy. of State she is no longer having to be 80% politician. Senators, bless their cheap, shallow souls, accomplish nowhere near as much as they could if they weren't having to raise all that fucking money and kiss so much ass all the time.

She is working, managing, bringing people together, representing her "company," and doing it extremely effectively.

From where I sit, she finally has the right job. #hillaryclinton

So... Obama's plan is to ship off the gays to remote islands, one plumb cushy assignment at a time?

@NotChoinski: I've just returned Stateside after two years in NZ and, trust me, it's not a plum assignment. Poverty, sky-high crime rate, rampant racism and xenophobia, and 24/7 shitty weather.

@newjewrevue: Um, ok. What exactly are you basing those findings on? Because although I'm basing my opinion of the States on what I see in the media, you seem to be no better off than us (NZ) in all of the above. (Except the shitty weather, I will give you that)

@newjewrevue: Oh come on, there were some quite nice days in September.
ETA: I guess I should respond more seriously. Can you go into more detail about that stuff? I've lived in New Zealand all my life and while I agree that we have problems with poverty, crime and racism, I don't think they're as extreme as you make them sound.

@newjewrevue: Wow, nice slating of an entire country. I mean, everyone knows the US is crime, poverty, racism and xenophobia-free, right?

It's all rainbows and sunshine in America, and no one ever takes a gun to their daughter's football match, depicts the president as a monkey, dies of cancer because they can't afford the life-saving drugs they need, or suggests that foreigners should go back over the border where they came from.

You get a teddy bear on arrival and a big hug every morning and no one is ever sad.

Well, there's a little ray of light on this dreary Thursday. As progressive as New Zealand is, I don't think an openly gay ambassador would be that much of a problem.

@CurtCole: not even close to a problem...I think NZ really won't care, given some of our previous MPs (a transvestite, a Rastafarian, at least one openly gay Minister, the list goes on).

They may even be hoping that this ambassador will help make the NZ-USA relationship more liberal.

I hope the American Embassy in New Zealand is nicer and better staffed than the New Zealand Embassy in America.

On the one hand, I think this feeds back into the media scrutiny we were talking about in the Obama post... on the other hand...I love Hillary, and I think the blog is following her with affection and respect so I'm glad to hear more....

If it's anything like Cosmo's Bedroom Blog, I'll be breathlessly awaiting every single entry.

Is "a particular White House Chief of Staff" really good in bed? What cabinet member has the best six pack? No, Hillary, I can't believe that "a certain former President" cheated on you with that floozy from Homeland Security.
