i'm a little slow

i just figured it out: all that stuff last night at the dem convention about equal pay for women, and the speeches about women, women, women, which seemed to come out of nowhere given that obama's really been running on the economy, the war, and knowing how many houses he owns; all that mysterious women's stuff was just to pander to the clinton supporters.

hey look, we care about <whatever it was that you thought hillary was going to do for you>!

that's politics, i reckon, and that's what's wrong with the system we've managed to keep for so long.

ew, and then as if that wasn't bad enough, there was the michael bay theme-songed clinton speech video, which i fortunately only heard. blah blah blah, harriet tubman, blah blah blah, i overcame adversity, blah blah blah blah blah blah, i never did get to be an astronaut, but let's shoot more women into space, blah blah blah. she did have one cogent thing to say, though: that she was in it to win it and not for the wealth, with a grammy on the wall and a gat on the shelf. hey, i'd forgotten that! that lyric sustained me for about 10 miles on sunday, where i repeated it dozens of times before realizing: only be purposely mispronouncing "welf" can you rhyme "wealth" with "shelf". heh.

anyhow, clinton said: hey youse, don't go voting for mccain. you weren't just hoping to elect me, right? sadly, seeing and knowing clinton voters, lots of them were, and aren't interested in voting for anyone else.
