I miss my blog.

I really wish I had time to write more. I still think. I still opine (just ask my poor husband.) I just can't find the time to sit and write. Something about three kids and homeschooling. And life.

So much to talk about, it's hard to pick just one. So I think I'll start with the most cynical.

Does anyone out there think it's just a teensy bit possible that the whole escapade at Hillary's headquarters on Friday was staged? Does that make me a conspiracy theorist? I just find the facts a little too irresistable.

The man who did it told his family to watch the news that day. He was drunk. He armed himself with flares. No one got hurt. The whole thing was a 6-hr media circus.

And the headlines and major stories all over Good Morning America this morning? Hillary taking charge during a crisis. They talked all about this being the perfect opportunity for her to show America how she could handle herself during crisis. She cancelled everything as soon as she heard the news and went into full-fledged management mode. She wanted to fly to Rochester to be with the families of the hostages, but wasn't allowed to immediately. She offered to do whatever it took to diffuse the situation, even speaking to the hostage taker. Once it was all over, she was immediately there with the families. Man, she sure has impressed me. I think I might have to vote for her now.

Please just don't spend too much time thinking about the fact that her poll numbers are down and it looks like Obama just might beat her in Iowa. Which is not good when you are the inevitable nominee. Overlook the fact that her biggest competition with Rudy is that everyone in the country got to see him "handle" 9-11. I'm sure she and her image makers hadn't given either one any thought.

But perhaps I am being too cynical. Too Republican. The fact is, I'm not sure there is a candidate out there that I might not at least question whether this was a staged event. Such is the state of our choice in 2008.

Whether it was fake or not, the orgasmic media fest over Hillary's amazing composure under fire is very, very real. And it makes me want to vomit.

It's going to be a long next couple of months until she has this nomination thing cinched up. Although fighting Oprah may prove to be her most formidable opponent yet. At least it'll be fun watching her squirm.
