| | Spin It Like HillarySince Rob has challenged all of us to write for five days straight, and since today is The May 6th - Primary Day for Indiana and North Carolina - I thought it'd be appropriate to write just a little bit about the politics.
Most of you will, hopefully, know that while I am rather progressive in my thoughts and politics, I do try to remain objective throughout. However, there is a point when I believe that Hillary Clinton has passed over from any prospective victory to existing within a hallucination or fairy-tale-land. But because I continue to be impressed by this campaign's capacity to move the goal-post again and again and to reinterpret history better than the Bush administration, I would like to imagine just for a bit what life would be like if I had Mark Penn as a life consultant...
After sucking so bad on the J.V. varsity team, I could have held a press conference informing the Tallmadge High School that I think the idea of me being the co-captain of the Varsity team would be an unstoppable team.
Instead of trying to work hard to excel at Greek, I could have downed beer and whiskey, spoken with a long drawl, and referred to my professor as a Gucci-wearing, latte-sipping elitist. Georgei!
Just because Jen teaches first grade and has a masters and is now entering into the PhD program, I could claim to any school system that I am just as qualified to teach as she is because I have lived with her throughout her five years of experience and I also listened in to a few other conversations and have read some of her papers.
Finally, rather than think creatively about theology and community, I could simply encourage everyone to pray more for everything to heal and then critique all of the theologians that would suggest otherwise and say, "I don't put my lot with theologians."
Oh, if I could only spin it like Hillary.
