Yesterday, I wore my new Hillary ‘08 hat to work. Isn’t it just adorable? It even matched my outfit, but it kind of clashes with my pink gloves. I even had comments about it from a few people. Woot! People in my neck of the academic woods are actually starting to support Hillary more. People [...]

This just in, courtesy of Lorrie Moore: Girls, apparently, have enough role models! She writes in today’s New York Times:
They have their teachers and many other professionals to admire, as well as a fierce 67-year-old babe as speaker of the House, several governors and a Supreme Court justice. The landscape is not bare.
Ms. Moore goes [...]

Fence @ the Oklahoma City National Memorial
You know, I’m having a hard time figuring out exactly what I want to write about our stop at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. I could ramble on about how this was the last stop on our trip and how we made it back to Sorta’ Cosmopolitan with only two [...]
I know, I know. A lot of the people who I hang out with are Obama fans, but I’m voting for Hillary. Everyone else can kiss my ass. {LOL} After last night’s win, which stunned the pundits, I broke down and bought my Hillary gear: a pin to add to my collection, the shirt above, [...]

The Quote of the Day, brought to you by the fact that the New Hampshire primaries are underway:
So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one? The reasons are as pervasive as the air we breathe: because sexism is still confused with nature as racism once was; because anything that [...]

Green Chile Stew @ the Blue Corn Cafe
Sorry, this picture is a little dark!
One of the things I really love about going on vacation is trying new restaurants. I always look for local restaurants (or, if in a bind, chains that we don’t have in Sorta’ Cosmopolitan), hoping to indulge in local regional cuisine. You really can’t [...]
