I don't know if I can be in my parents house tonight when my father gets home from work and both he and my mother start wailing about the downfall of the United States. I was ready to flee when I got in yesterday and spoke to my dad for five minutes. And electricity is not expected to be restored at my own place until Monday morning. I don't think I can handle this without lots of cigarettes and alcohol.
Thank god my lil' bro is in Florida for a wedding, because otherwise I'd be hiding in his room smoking and drinking while he lectured me drunkenly about the downfall of America.
My father-in-law posted on facebook today that he hope Obama can now start moving toward the middle. I'm suddenly looking forward to the holiday season even less than I already was.
It's almost unheard of for someone to stay Secretary of State for more than 4 years. I think it must be nearly as exhausting as being the President.
word on the street in my office is that John Kerry is going to be the next Secretary of State, and Brown can run in that special election.
I've heard that he wants it (who knows) but might not get it for just this reason.
you know who would be awesome? Bill
If you are looking to Mitt Romney to save your country, it's already dead. Like K-B toys.
You know who would be awesome in the job? A career diplomat who has put in years of service and earned the job.
Tom's being all LOGICAL. Cabinet positions are like Broadway leading roles, sure every so often one of them can go to someone who has put in the years and no one knows, but most of the time they go to NAMES AND FACES and 80s/90s has beens.
That's just crazy, Tom.
There is also a possibility he could run for governor in two years.
That was my immediate reaction, because it would never occur to me to put Kerry in at State. But, you know, not the president.
So, Debbie Gibson for Secretary of State?
