  calgodot - failed astrologist

  My take on KateTex: she's a 55-year old divorced Pisces female from Texas, who loves Grey's Anatomy and Boston Legal. This would put her right smack in the middle of Hillary's demographic. She's Joan Walsh with a Texas accent.

  I'm sure my husband will get a big kick out of this, oh, dotty one. FYI, I'm an Illinois native, lived in New Orleans for 30 years (until Katrina kicked us out), haven't watched TV in many months. I'm a lover of Tolstoy, Dickens, John Irving, Jonathan Franzen, Iris Murdoch, and countless others; an audiophile partial to Sibelius (not Kathleen, sorry), Gerald Finzi, John Rutter's choral works, Dylan of course, and Leon Redbone; an avid reader whose bed is nearly buried under books and New Yorkers; a lifelong bicyclist and outdoor enthusiast, a writer for dogs years, a onetime interior designer who currently restores antique maps and prints, a thrift shop devotee from way back. My husband, a wonderful guy, was a New Orleans firefighter for 26 years (had to retire early because of horribly botched surgery just before Katrina). Oh, and I'm a Virgo, for whatever that's worth (which in my book is precisely nada), and a lifelong political junkie who's a registered Independent.

  So, put that in your demographic pipe and smoke it.
