Hot Hot Heat

As we have already strayed entirely from our intention of providing light-hearted commentary of music, art, and culture, I think it is acceptable for me to use this space to discuss... POLITICS!

Tomorrow is a big day for anyone born on March 4th, or anyone unfortunate enough to have been assigned jury duty, but even more colossal, its TEXAS and OHIO! The primaries/caucuses (I still don't know why we have both) in these states will most likely determine the next US president! Thats right, I'm liberal, and an optimist.

The outcomes of tomorrow's elections are less important to me than the fact that I will be getting an additional hour of free time per day from now on. At least. I have been obsessed with the juicy details of the shaky relationship between Hillary and Barack. It's become a drama series for me, and quite frankly, I am afraid that after tomorrow I might actually have to start watching Lipstick Jungle, or something. Ah!

But seriously, I can't wait until Barack and Hillary stop competing because they are both such wonderful candidates. They would both be great leaders for our nation and are both prepared for the job. Both have senate experience, personality, crowd appeal, the ability to inspire, the excitement of being a "first", and the oh so popular promise of change. Oh yah, and both are democrats. They seem pretty similar to me. I will not even say that I would take either, any day, over our current chief, because that understates their brilliance, but I would. Oops, I said it. For me the differences do not exist between Hillary and Barack, but rather between now and tomorrow. I do hope there is change. I see our potential in both candidates and the sooner we can unite behind one, the better shot we have.

It's gonna be hot, hot tomorrow. Get excited!
