Re. "God does play dice" — that positively brought tears to my eyes. I wanna re-tell that story to someone... That's damned funny.
I love the read at work! Very funny.
Re: Obama side media. Yes, certain sections of the media are anti-Hillary; no doubt. The question is: can you blame them?
If the media are taking shots at Hillary, it's because she loaded the guns and gave them to them. From her lies about sniper fire in Bosnia to comparing her utterly self-serving strategy on Florida and Michigan to the civil rights struggle, she has provided ample and irresistible ammunition for their salvos.
I say this as a former supporter. I previously preferred Hillary over Obama largely because of his overt religosity. He has had to quit his church to see the folly in that. His naivety, however, is less of a problem in my eyes than her utter hypocrisy and disdain for process.
That kind of behaviour has a price, and she has no-one but herself to blame for the fact that she's paying it.
The read at work thing is pretty cool, but actually I'm too busy at work watching porn. I love my job. (No, my job is not watching porn. I just have nothing to do.)
