Michelle Obama was born exactly three days after me in 1964. How come she’s so much taller than me?

I realize Hillary is not doing the world’s greatest job of “campaigning in poetry,” but this statement of hers at the end of the last debate resonated:

“I am thrilled to be running to be the first woman president, which I think would be a sea change in our country and around the world.”

Sea change: female liquid salinity…

(I feel compelled to apologize for this essentialism, or Jungianism, or whatever — why?)

I’ve written more books than Obama and Hillary combined!

Hah!

My head is so full of the rantings of partisans. (intra-partisans)

I really have to stop paying attention to all this.

She’s becoming a kind of Shakespearean tragic hero.

Do you think he was just “sampling,” like the with-it postmodern person he is?

(OK, maybe it’s not such a big deal, but I’m not exactly sure how I can explain it to my students.)

Obama: “I make no apologies for being able to talk good.”

Hillary = real fake

Obama = fake real

At least with Hillary, you know what you’re getting.

Fascinating.
