A Sunday Sayonara to Shrillary

Another seventh day and another day of rest. It doesn't feel like June in Chicago - it feels more like stormy August. More storms this morning and more to come this afternoon. It may put the kill on grilling outside for dinner tonight. More on dinner later because first I have to attend to bidding farewell to a campaign that was ill-fated from the beginning.

Of course, I am referring to Shrillary's self-serving and avaricious run at the U.S Presidency and its "suspension" yesterday. That was the longest case of euthanasia I have ever seen. And I wish it was over, but it's not. We'll have to endure the Veep stakes (by all that's holy, Obama, don't do it - don't bring her on as your Veep, please!) as well a tirade or two from Bill (how completely INSANE has he become?) Her "suspension" speech because we still can't call it a "concession" speech in my book until she has released her delegates was 29 minutes long, about 26 minutes longer than it needed to be. And it took her seven (7!) minutes to even mention Senator Obama. Seven minutes of her blathering about herself (boo-hoo sorry it wasn't the party you had planned) before she could stomach mentioning the candidate who beat her fairly. There in lies the rub - "fairly" a concept completely foreign to Shrill and Bill. One can only hope that the two of them will keep quiet now and allow Obama to go forth and campaign without the Clinton albatross weighing him and his team down. I doubt the Democratic party and the nation will be so lucky...

So today's 80's flashback video is for you, Shrill. (David, I know this wasn't the video we decided on during the EQuarrel today but when I found this one, it had to go up). A little Romeo Void and "Girl in Trouble" -

Should I have gone with Aerosmith and "Dude Looks Like A Lady"?

And now back to dinner...I am pretty excited about the potatoes hasselback I'm making. Slices of garlic wedged into the tops of new red potatoes, drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with kosher salt and then baked. We'll see how they turn out!
