I just love her is all.
But I'm having such a hard time with Hillary Clinton stepping down as Secretary of State. I DON'T KNOW. It just gets me really emotional. I have her on such a pedestal. This blip from an NPR interview with Michele Keleman is one reason why:
Keleman: And I wonder how, as you sit here, do you think about your place in history and what you hope will be your lasting legacy in this building?
Clinton: I don't think like that. I really get up every day and try to deal with the problems that are in front of me and I don't really worry about history. That will work itself out over time. I think the last four years have been ultimately quite important for the United States to demonstrate that we were going to once again assume a leadership position that was in concert with our values. That was not how America was viewed when I took this office. I think we have set the table for a lot of the difficult issues to be dealt with. There is nothing fast or easy about diplomacy. I have no illusions about that.
And we have brought to the forefront longer-term issues, whether it's the implications of technology and the role of the Internet, cybersecurity, women's rights, climate change. I've worked on all of these because I wanted to be sure that the United States was at the table looking for a way of structuring the legal international frameworks that are going to have to be put into place.
ANYWAY. In other news, adrenalin211 wrote porn for the PB. Mmmmmm, Jack.
Sometimes when I'm reading on the NPR website, I'll scan the comments just because I am amused by what complete trolls people can be, by the fact that this is what some humans choose to spend their lives doing -- getting into ludicrous online arguments with anonymous strangers. And today, one woman who commented had an avatar that said "Porn" with the red circle and line over it to cross it out. I am just like. That is your visual presentation of yourself to the online world, and a 'no porn' sign is what you choose? People baffle me, seriously.
Anybody have music recs to pop me out of these January doldrums? What's up with you guys?
