Charlie Brown Has a Coke and a Smile and Other Monday Musings



My friend Will's choice for best Superbowl ad.

The commercials seemed weak. I don't get the hype. That Audi Godfather ripoff was just weird.

If I hear one more Republican candidate talk about Ronald Reagan I'm going to puke.

In case you were wondering, Bill Kristol still sucks.

I love how all the Linda Park latest news on perfectpeople.net are my blog entries. Tee hee.

Fashion Week is upon us once more! Everything I've seen so far has been pretty divine. My favorite look to date is this schoolmarm outfit from Rag & Bone. Diane von Furstenburg and Sari Gueron had some lovely dresses, and colored tights are sticking around (further proof that the late 80s/early 90s are on their way back). Hello Heathers! I can't wait until Fall when these looks have been distilled and distilled again to the point where I can buy them on sale at the Gap. I hate to admit this, but really, for one week I would love to be rich and fabulous so I could see some of these shows and buy some of these clothes.

As always you can keep up with all things Fashion Week at New York magazine's excellent website.

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday. I'll be glued to MSNBC. I don't even know who I want to come out ahead at this point. I want them both to win.

Crap. I have the hiccups,

Bill Kristol Can Kiss My Butt

On any given day, I would probably possess that sentiment but Fox News' Bill Kristol had this to say about Hillary Clinton's win in New Hampshire:

"It's the tears. She pretended to cry, the women felt sorry for her, and she won."

I confess that I'm almost suspicious about my affection for Hillary. But wrong or right, she's my choice. So Bill Kristol, you can suck it. You insulted Hillary, you insulted women, you insulted emotion and you and the white man establishment are going down. So there! Okay, the white man establishment thing might be a pipe dream but a girl can fantasize, right?

John McCain pulled off a semi-stunning victory. I don't know that he win another one, though. There was a time when I respected JM, but his evangelical pandering really irked me. Also, his current wax museum look isn't going to play well in a general election. Especially if he's up against Obama.

Speaking of Barack, part of me wants to embrace him 100%. He's attractive, he's a top notch orator who seems to be channeling Martin Luther King Jr., he represents a hopeful feeling we haven't had in years and he's really intelligent. I just get an uncomfortable greener than a Greenie feeling about him. I don't know if he's ready. I wish it was 2012. However, there's that whole quote about greatness being thrust upon you or something - you know the one you hear in every sports movie. Maybe he'll surprise us.

I am curious, though. Please tell me what you think - do you believe America would elect a woman or an African American first? I honestly don't know which is part of what makes this year so exciting. I think John Edwards is all but out (James Denton from Desperate Housewives' support aside).

Tom and I watched the New Hampshire Primary results while eating dinner and playing gin. We are so senior citizen. It's awesome.

The sun is shining for a reason,
