These things that come to mind when given a bit of time between an email blast and a beautiful excel creation:

Where are the dogs that came after Clinton for the Monica situation? Where are they now? It could be a good VH1 special I think. Are they no longer around because they got the war that they wanted? Because they got the oil that they wanted?

I wonder about these things. About how our whole public discourse got turned on its head because of a blue dress and a stain and yet we and the media sit ideally by as we were lied into a war and our boys are dying a needless death. We knew every minutia of that situation didn’t we? Every little detail.

The teacher in the lonely kindergarten room, the teacher that so many of us depend on, is distracted by Laci and Michael and fall fashions these days. It is distracted by celebrity and pointless business dealings. ‘Teacher, can you work to educate us again?’ ‘Please?’ I understand it is easier not to do so, but is that how we are going to define our class now? How we are going to define our country?

Please, let’s not.
