No more perfect speech.

I was just thinking.  If lightening ever struck and the world ended up being completely racially and sexually equal, I would definitely be a Republican.

Because see, the thing is.  Democrats just want everything to be fair.  Everyone should have healthcare, everyone should have an amazing education, everyone should work their way up and then we can all share in the fruits together and not have to be all stressed out your entire life over some money. It's a very hippie way of thinking when you think about it. Like peace, love, harmony.  It just all sounds like the right thing to do.

Then you have Republicans who are just hard wired to want to hit a lick essentially.  These clowns don't sit at the bottom and think to themselves, "You know, it's really fucking unfair that my boss gets paid 6x my salary, that's really unfairly disproportionate."  No that thought never crosses a Republicans mind.  A Republican will do his damnest to become the boss, which includes a by any means necessary mentality (which is amazing when you think about this in terms of the Clinton/Obama campaigns.  Clinton has basically become the Republican candidate within the Democratic party).  So yea, a Republican will hit a lick right quick, then sit back and decide whether or not they want to work at all for the rest of their lives.

I'm down with that mentality.  This approach for me, because I think I can do it, is easier because it requires less work OVER TIME.  Work hard for 10 years then I'm up. Plus on the same token if everything goes to shit, I'll be the only one losing out because you guys weren't making that much money anyway. 

I like to really WIN.  Overdo it one time then sit my ass down somewhere. Do what I want. But I also agree with fairness. But I think you can have both under certain circumstances. Trying to be fair all the time, although easier and less stressful, doesn't provide large enough benefits for risk takers. Democrats are like, meh, I'd rather have work just be a section of my life, I don't want it to ever be my life.  I'm trying to live, son!  But Republicans are trying to live too, just after the fact.  It's all about how you look at it. If it wasn't for Republicans, we wouldn't have these large scale family dynasties basically.  Hilton hotels just getting passed down and still making huge profits.  That shit is AMAZING.  And they owe it all to one guy.  And of course he's going to be Republican, cuz he's like man I would've had to do way more work than I actually did if life was fair!  It's a an elite club.  A fraternity.  And all the poor people in it are all the wannabes that just end up getting hazed on.

Which is why I really have a lot of respect for rich Democrats. Cuz they made it and still have a certain amount of respect and experience with the real world. They got where they wanted to go and didn't forget how they got there and have an understanding of every little thing that had to happen to get them there.  I think you have to have a profound understanding of the world to get to the level of the rich Democrat.  And I don't mean the Madonnas...or anybody like that.  I mean, say Anderson Cooper is a Democrat (not sure if he is), but if so, that's amazing.  He's a freaking Vanderbilt.

Which brings me to my point that being a Republican is fundamentally racist.  Black people don't have money to get the correct education to become the boss.  Black people don't know the right people to become the boss.  Black people have never even met a boss to understand what they look and act like.  Black people don't know shit about shit cuz we just got here and we just now started having the time and tools to even begin to have that thought.  Shit 50 years ago our largest concern was staying alive everyday and hopefully get a job making half of what you make so we didn't really have the time/energy/networks to be figuring out how we can cheat and/or rise above the system.  Then we were having kids too cuz home life was probably better back then and if you never learn then you ain't got shit to teach.  Still learning about life while having kids = not smart.  But now that our schools are better than they were in the 60s, we're starting to come around, but we still ain't there yet and it isn't our fucking fault.  Just because white people decided to ease up on us a lil bit, its fair to assume that we should just figure everything out very quickly and thrive?  When y'all have been doing this for hundreds of years? We're still figuring shit out.  Y'all got it figured out and are just passing the information along? Duh?

So black Republicans make me wonder.  Do they really think that they're THAT large?  They're having that good of a time in the world, really? Half of these fools don't even exist as their authentic selves in their lives.  I wonder how it is that they become that arrogant and that out of touch with reality where you think you're in another world where black people actually have a chance.  Because that's what you're saying by being a Republican.  Everyone has a fair chance here, either you sink or you swim.  Stop being lazy and expecting shit to just be given to you. That shit makes my head want to explode. Some people out here really have no idea or grasp on the realities of being any type of minority here.  Black. Gay. Hispanic.  You name it.  Some shit, you just have to experience better than you can explain.

But Barack Obama certainly gave that last sentence a run for every thought I've ever had in my head about race and America.  I mean, he explained it so simply, but without oversimplifying the problems.  So intelligent, SO smart...he's everything.  He is nothing short of amazing.  What kinda person can't get with that shit?

Hillary Clinton is bitter bear.

How does Hillary Clinton sleep at night? "She" is the devil. I use the quotes because her being a woman has been alleged. I think that's up for debate.

I'm new to politics, so everything that has gone on in the month of February from Sen. Clinton has been similar to my initial exposure to the workforce.  It's just so disheartening.  It doesn't have to be this way.  Where are everyone's priorities? Why's everyone so selfish?  I thought we all had the same goal here? What is wrong with you people?!?

She's clearly made a move to set herself up for some future move and is entirely down to sell her soul and integrity to get wherever she's going.  But that's politics, I guess.

What's more concerning is that I had no idea that politics is just one a massive game to see who can trick the AMAZINGLY ignorant general public into believing the most ridiculous thing that for some uninformed reason could actually be seen as true in someone's world.  I don't think I knew that people didn't read on their own until now.  It would seem that news junkies are a part of a clique of sorts that kind of wonder about everyone else.  Like really, you're watching Top Model when there's a debate on?  Asha and I were talking about how amazing it is that an advertisement seemingly swindled mass amounts of people.  Are people that dumb?  Do you just believe anything that anyone tells you?  Part of me wants to start saying any damn thing to Clinton supporters just to get them to the side that I believe is right, but I guess that's what Hillary calls herself doing and I can't be like her.

I just really thought everyone, at least over 23, watched the news all the time.  But I guess that's the kind of thought that comes from being around the same 3 people all the time like myself *shrug*.

I was through with Clinton after the 60 mins interview last week.  But I was REALLY through when she started with the McCain would be a better president than Obama tactic.  Really Hillary?  If you can't win, then no one should...right?  I mean, can you imagine John McCain on national TV MULTIPLE TIMES saying that Hillary Clinton would make a better president than say Rudy Giulliani or Mitt Romney?  I just don't get how someone could be that way and be a-ok with it.  It makes me question a lot of things about the Clintons and life in general.  People are scary man.

For these reasons and the commentary below (thank you Peggy Noonan and Jon Chait), I'm willing to vote Republican in the next election if she somehow swindles the superdelegates into giving her the nomination.  Because we all know she's not about to outright win this thing based on votes from the remaining states. It'll be interesting to see the smart shit that Obama's camp comes up with in the coming weeks to get more "tough" on her--since it's apparent that he needs to do so to win over the dummies everywhere. I'd love to be a part of that think tank.

What do I think is the biggest reason Mrs. Clinton came back? She kept her own spirits up to the point of denial and worked it, hard, every day. She is hardy, resilient, tough. She is a train on a track, an Iron Horse. But we must not become carried away with generosity. The very qualities that impress us are the qualities that will make her a painful president. She does not care what you think, she will have what she wants, she will not do the feints, pivots and backoffs that presidents must. She is neither nimble nor agile, and she knows best. She will wear a great nation down.

In any case the Clinton campaign, which has always been more vicious than clever, this week did a very clever thing. They pre-empted any criticism of past scandals by pushing a Democratic Party button called . . . the Monica story. Mr. Obama is "imitating Ken Starr" by speaking of Mrs. Clinton's record, said Howard Wolfson. But Ken Starr documented malfeasance. Mr. Obama can't even mention it.

I end with a deadly, deadpan prediction from Christopher Hitchens. Hillary is the next president, he told radio's Hugh Hewitt, because, "there's something horrible and undefeatable about people who have no life except the worship of power . . . people who don't want the meeting to end, the people who just are unstoppable, who only have one focus, no humanity, no character, nothing but the worship of money and power. They win in the end."

Been gone for a minute, now I'm back at the jumpoff...

Hello. My. Name. Is. Jillian. And. I. Have. No. Inflections. In. My. Voice. I'm. Also. Dry. And. Sour. Grapes. However. I. Make. Excellent. Points.

That said, I completely agree with her rant.  As much as I love Victoria Beckham, I had all of these thoughts while watching the finale.  I didn't get why she would be chosen for the *finale* when she's just a regular person with her own since of style like everyone else.  Yea, I guess she's considered a designer, but for me owning a label does not equal being a designer.  This bitch ain't out here making patterns..she's just approving real artists work.  So yea.

I wanted to explore this Alexander McQueen shtick that people keep mentioning and I must say I was very turned off by Christian's "inspiration", which looks to me like he just remade McQueen's 06-07 line more exaggerated/tailored or something. I thought he should've won based on originality and inexperience (the others are already successful--Jillian as a Ralph Lauren designer, Rami has celebrities wear his stuff all the time, apparently), but now I'm on the fence. *shrug*  I don't see how the judges didn't make the connection since Christian apparently actually worked for McQueen.  Buuuttt, I guess it doesn't matter since they were all pretty fierce and fantastic, but see for yourself at these links:

Oh, Hello Ruffles
