some of you may remember that last march i was nearly fired from my job.

what happened was that i was having a casual, seemingly friendly conversation with a girl who i had once dated, but the conversation seemed to take a wrong turn when i told her that i was sorry things hadn't worked out between us.

her negative reaction (conveyed via body language) told me to change the subject, which i immediately did.

some months ago i heard that hillary will be drafted as president at the democratic convention.

well, this is no longer a rumor.

on the hannity & colmes show last night, foxnews, this 'rumor' was confirmed to be true.. the reason for the public silence (not told on the show) but by the rumor mill, is to keep hillary on a low profile, not to create a public stir.
