I still don't understand how a candidate can be said to have "won" an election when the other candidates aren't on the ballot. Even if those missing candidates removed their names themselves. I mean, they were following the spirit if not the letter of whatever Democratic Party "rules" applied to those MI and FL primaries, right?

As "compromises" go, I suppose this one is as good as any. I hesitate to call the "win" for Hillary, though. It's just doesn't seem .... well, possible to wrestle that "event" into a "win." Semantically or otherwise.

Plus, as a former Edwards and now Obama by default supporter, this semantic squishiness dovetails a little too closely with Hillary's own penchant for "misspeaking" and for being, well, "disingenuous."

I mean, is this Orwell's 1984, or what?

Please.

... but I can't help it!

What is with these ulra-high collars on Hillary's jackets???

Is anyone else besides me reminded of Elvis Presley? He always had his collars made high because he didn't like his pencil neck.

Every time I see this "fashion statement" I want to guffaw. Even though I know I'm not supposed to have any opinion on any candidate's fashion sense or dress.

Oh, and: I'd rather die than have the Clintons back in the White House. But that doesn't affect my opinion about her high collars. Honest.

That is all.

He's so obviously a case of arrested development that he's simply not able to take on the parental role. As evidenced by the role he takes in this column.

"I lean toward letting kids do what they really, really want to do. I have a kind of instinctive faith in kids, in their ability to sort through stuff."

"Instinct"??? Nope, that's arrested development. To the point of not being able to act "in the best interests of the children." Which is a legal term, actually. Cary is constitutionally unable to act as parens patriae.

Follow his parenting advice at your own peril.

Whores is as whores does. Fucking or otherwise.

Oh, and I'm a product of those 70's Womens' Studies classrooms, and I cringe when anyone's called a fucking whore, too, but I deplore both the Clintons' whorish ways. Call a spade a spade, I always say, if that's not going to be misconstrued, too. Woman really is the nigger of the world and I deplore sexism as much or more than anyone, but there's nothing feminist about Hillary Clinton. Nothing presidential, either.

I'll be one of those who don't read Salon from here on in, after having been a reader for a decade or so and a former Premium subscriber. The SUN and The Enquirer have lots of readers, too, but are those really the readers your advertisers want? Quality? or quantity, Joan? Your pandering is disgusting. And your awful knee-jerk reactions to anyone who disagrees with you is just spectacularly unprofessional.

Like I said: Whores is as whores does.
