Odds and ends

First off, Hillary gave a fantastic speech. I hope you got a chance to see it. And it's painfully apparently she should have been on the ticket. There's a lot of big reasons why she should have (which I won't go into) and I have to say the only reasons I can come up with why not have to do with hurt feelings and jealousy. Come on, it's a political office; you have to deal with people you don't like if you want to get things done. Oh well....

Brindle. He spent four days in his kitty cage refusing to come out because he didn't want his medicine. He'd sneak out and race back if he caught him out. Sunday, he decided he wanted the bathtub--while I was taking a bath. He sat there looking stern until I vacated it. Wanting the lie on the cold porcelain means it's time for his flea meds again so we did give him that. He's gone out for a few hours in the evening and is slowly getting his strength and confidence back. Oh, and I'm taking him for a check up in one hour.

Our refrigerator is two years old and now it's having temperature instability. Turns out the extended warranty I bought will come in handy. We have an appt for Friday after noon so hopefully I can catch a couple of zzzz after work before they show up. And hopefully the freezer will keep things frozen til then.

Poor Brindle! Petpetpetpet.....

He had a steroid shot. That makes him like a needy kitten. He went to bed with me, made biscuits and purred most of the day. It's great having a kitty like that, but repeated steroid use isn't good. He's really happy right now, like he's on ecstasy or something.

Gee, maybe I should get Snicky some steroids - she's almost never like that with me! But yeh, I know it's not good for them :-(

It makes him so happy though. It's a shame it's harmful. We'll have to stick with catnip I guess. *g*

I'm happy Brindle is doing so much better!

I read an article a few months ago where the writer gave a good reason for Hillary not to want to be the VP. As VP, she is stuck being VP until 2016, where she will likely be too old to run for President again. This way, she can run for the Democratic nomination in 2012. (No matter who wins this fall.) In fact, one of the local pundits said that the first 10 pages of her speech was the stump speech for her 2012 run at the White House. LOL

Brindle thanks you. :)

As for the VP thing, if McCain wins in Nov, yeah, she'll run again in 2012. But if Obama wins and wants to run again in 2012, I think the party doesn't ever make a sitting president complete for the chance. She's locked out until 2016 unless something happens to Obama. I don't think she'd be too old, but who knows?

Also, I heard a pundit say that once you're president, that's it. If she stays a senator, she can be like a Ted Kennedy, someone with a long and powerful career. What would be better? The first woman president, of course!!! *g*
