Clinton has caused me to re-evaluate.

[Erin Elizabeth]

I've decided to go back to pursuing my goal of being an astronaut. I know I'm 39 years old, blind as a bat, and a bit out of shape. I know my bachelor's degree is in English and I never went past college algebra. Also, I've never been in the military, I'm extremely claustrophobic, and have OCD and a huge fear of heights. I also don't know how to get the satellite dish to work unless my daughter is around to show me. I can't figure out the surround sound thingie at all. No matter! The road to being an astronaut for me is CERTAINLY narrow, yes I admit that, but it is NOT blocked.

I've been counted out on this before, my friends. When I was 18 and told my roommate of my dreams of becoming an astronaut to help further the cause of space exploration, she choked on her breakfast cereal, then laughed, lodging a Froot Loop in her sinuses.

When I tried to raise money so that I could get a math tutor, my friends said, "Erin, you will NEVER be an astronaut. You are blind. And have too many issues you take medication for. And what does this button on the remote do?" Ah yes, they laughed hearty and hard.

But I persisted until about the age of 24, when I decided it just couldn't be done. But Hillary has shown me that, even if the odds are stacked against you 100%, even if they are stacked against you 101% or 1000% or even if I put that in scientific notation for the percentage (I'm brushing up on the math junk even now!), you can still KEEP GOING, you can STILL TRY.

In fact, and I can't believe I'm admitting this.....I also always wanted to be Queen Elizabeth I. Just imagine that. Being a strong and powerful monarch. I've read everything there is to read about her life and I can do a perfect Cate Blanchett impersonation. Also, I'm pale.

I know my hurdles involve being reincarnated just perfectly and/or developing a time machine (that works, this time). And convincing bastards like the Duke of Norfolk that I REALLY am her, nevermind the Texas twang. ("What is 'Texas,' mum?")

But again, Hillary has shown me that no matter how completely impossible a goal is, you can still go for it, and go for it, and go for it, and keep going for it, until you are dead or electrocuted or something really super bad happens to make you stop.

Thank you Hillary. You have revived a couple of old dreams of mine. First the astronaut gig, then the Queen gig after that. It's that kind of rational, clear-headed, logical leadership that we really need right now. And optimism so huge it borders on being bugfuck insane! I LOVE IT!

So confess here, my friends: what impossible dreams are you now going to pursue thanks to Hillary's example? What have YOU been counted out for?

[SoCalDem]

1. You GO, girl :) I am inspired also

I always wanted to be a supermodel..even though I am only 5'2" and more than a bit ..shall we say..zaftig:)..but I can overcome anything..and who knows..maybe all the supermodels will starve to death and they will call me...me..me..a 59 year old shortie..to grace the cover of Vogue


off topic.. your math thing reminded me of a friend of mine who drew me aside one night and confessed a shameful thing to me.. She went back to college after raising kids, and had to take an entrance exam.. She was horrified to learn that she tested at 6th grade on math, and had to take 3 remedial courses before they would admit her.. This is a professional woman who ran her own business and raised 3 college educated kids..:)

[Erin Elizabeth]

2. You can DO IT.

I mean, really you can't. BUT: remember the motto--keep going on that absolutely impossible dream until you are dead or electrocuted or something really super bad happens. It's Hillary's motto. Make it your own.

[Mme. Defarge]

9. Yes, there are undoubtedly worse things

than being dead or electrocuted. Like not getting your way?

[Erin Elizabeth]

10. Oh DEFINITELY.

That's like 10 to the 700th power worse than not getting your way. FUCK that.

[Mme. Defarge]

12. I keep my eyes peeled

in the checkout lane at my neighborhood QFC.

[SoCalDem]

17. Look for the chubby , graying one with glasses

I'll probably be wearing something brown or tan..:)

[1776Forever]

Thanks - I needed that!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jim Lane]

77. "girl"??? This is how you address Queen Elizabeth? You uncouth American.

I believe "Your Majesty" is the proper form. Under the special circumstances here present (astronaut status), the alternative "Roger that, Your Majesty" is also acceptable.

But "You go, girl" is right out. Bad show.

[SoCalDem]

79. So, "Right On! Commander Queenie" would be in bad taste as well?

:rofl:

[Jim Lane]

91. I should say. People have been beheaded for less. (n/t)

[Mme. Defarge]

3. I have to admit

that my advanced age I had finally given up on being famous. But, now that I think about it, dammit, I'm ENTITLED to be famous. And then, it finally occurred to me that Madame Defarge IS famous.

Never mind.

P.S. I feel it is a tragedy of epic proportion that Hillary did not keep pursuing her dream of being an astronaut. Would have saved us all a lot of wear and tear today.

[Erin Elizabeth]

4. Did SHE want to be an astronaut, too????

Also, I think you should try to BE Madame Defarge. Go for it.

[SoCalDem]

6. and hey.. she might have teamed up with a different Bill

Bill Nelson :)

[Divernan]

60. You're famous here, sweetie!

[merh]

5. LOL - I always wanted to be a tall, slender, green eyed red head

maybe I should open a website for donations, I can get the hair color from a box, buy the contacts, try the jenny craig diet (hell it worked for valarie), but the height thing is a challenge. Maybe bone implants and some growth hormones and some stretching - and if I am taller, I will look thinner, yes?



:thumbsup:



:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

7. 4 words

Big Hair


High Heels

:rofl:

[Erin Elizabeth]

8. No, ANYTHING is POSSIBLE.

ANYTHING.

(I'm not going to discuss the word "probable." Like Hillary, I am ignoring the word "probable" and all of its connotations. So there.)

They have these stretching machines they can use on you. Like the rack. That'll do it. Plus they can break your ankles and put pins in to gain an inch or so in your height that way.

Also, growth hormones. You might grow a beard and get really hairy tits, but it'd be worth it, right?

[KnaveRupe]

37. You need an Ilizarov apparatus (or two.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilizarov_apparatus

[Erin Elizabeth]

40. Well shit, there you go!

See? IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS REALLY CAN COME TRUE!

[redqueen]

57. Ooh me too!

There is hope, after all!

[PassingFair]

110. Get the wig, and the contacts and then stand next to...

Dennis Kucinich!

You'll LOOK tall!

You'll FEEL tall!

[msallied]

11. First of all, this is the best post I've read all damn week.

Second, I'm going to win American Idol. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, and I'll be 29 in a few months (and therefore too old for next season), but I have a feeling that Simon, Paula, and Randy will make an exception for me. Why? Because I'm ME!!! And... I'll be really really sad if they say no, and that's unacceptable.

[Erin Elizabeth]

13. Here's the thing: YOU CAN GET YOUR WAY.

As long as you are willing to do whatever it takes, and forget about stuff like chances or whatnot, you CAN GET YOUR WAY.

Be like a wrecking ball. Envision yourself as a wrecking ball. You are going to go in there to American Idol and you will lie about your age (who cares?) or if they catch you in it, say "Yeah I'm fucking 29, what of it? I've got pipes of gold!" (Another lie, but who cares, what's important is getting what you want.)

Then get in there and just shove your greatness DOWN THEIR THROATS AND YOU WILL WIN.

[NewHampshireDem]

14. Play professional baseball

I'm gonna hit .401, throw 350 strikeouts, hit 100 home runs, steal all the bases ... yeah, that's the ticket!

[Erin Elizabeth]

15. Don't let anyone tell you you can't.

Don't let a lack of money get in your way, either. Money schmoney.

[Divernan]

63. And sleep with Morgan Fairchild . . . .whom you're married to. . . .yeah!

[NanceGreggs]

16. Wonderful post!

:kick: and REC'D!

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. You're my inspiration, actually.

No shit.

[NanceGreggs]

104. Thanks for saying that!

This really is a GREAT read!!!

:hi:

[Vinca]

18. Back in the dark ages, when I was about 20, I wanted to be

a flight attendant. (So long ago they were still called stewardesses.) I was only 5' tall and you had to be 5'4", so my hopes were dashed. But now, thanks to Hillary's empowerment, I am going to try . . . no, make that, I am going to DEMAND . . . Eastern Airlines add me to their roster. Oops . . . small snafu there. :rofl:

[Erin Elizabeth]

19. Ok seriously nowdays, you can get implants in your heels

to make you taller. You do walk funny forever, BUT WHAT DOES THAT MATTER WHEN IT'S ABOUT GETTING WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT?????

[Vinca]

24. Okay, then I DEMAND to be Tina Turner (post Ike, of course).

:woohoo:

[Erin Elizabeth]

30. Well go for it

until someone is dead or electrocuted or something super bad happens. Don't stop before that, though! Whooo!

[Mme. Defarge]

50. Good point ...

Hillary has re-defined "empowerment." The old warm & fuzzy, touchy-feely version of empowerment -- giving folks the freedom and authority to use their own creativity to solve problems and achieve results for the good of both the individual and the whole group -- is really for whimps, isn't it? Real empowerment is in-your-face, never backing down, refusing to ever take no for an answer in order to get what YOU want!!!

Thinking of it this way makes me realize that maybe over the past 7 1/2 years Bush & Cheney have been on the right track all along.

:wtf:

[Erin Elizabeth]

54. YEAH!

REAL empowerment is summed up in the following five words: FUCK YOU! I'M GETTING MINE!

Tha's right.

[casus belli]

21. You will NEVER be Queen Elizabeth

But, good luck in space. :)

:hug:

[Erin Elizabeth]

22. NO ONE TELLS ME I CAN'T DO SOMETHING.

Just channeling Hillary, my muse.

Thanks, I'll see you from the moon!

[LisaM]

23. Hillary apparently wrote NASA in high school and asked about the requirements for being an astronaut

and they wrote back and said women needn't apply.

The OP apparently finds that as yet one more excuse to mock Hillary.

I see it as the story of an exceptionally bright young girl, full of hopes and dreams, as we all were when we were in high school. But, you know, if you want to laugh at her youthful aspirations, why not? It's piling on day, from what I can see.

What I can tell you is this: if this mean-spiritedness continues into the GE, and bleeds into the next four years, you are going to kindle a lot of hatred.

[Erin Elizabeth]

26. Lighten up, Frances.

I was addressing her completely bone-headed moves in THIS primary race. I don't give a shit what she did when she was in high school, good for her. Yay. Wonderful.

DU is not the United States. It's a message board. Lighten up.

[SoCalDem]

31. "kindle" is an odd word to use too..

[LisaM]

33. Gloating and being lighthearted aren't the same.

And it wasn't really very funny.

[Erin Elizabeth]

38. You know what? Your constant negativity is not

going to stop me from studying this algebra book NOR is it going to stop me from pursuing my dreams!

We don't need any Negative Nellies around here, ok? Now if you want to breathe underwater or be able to go into a time warp, then I will encourage you in that goal. But otherwise, leave the rest of us to our dreams.

[SoCalDem]

41. uh oh.. the Nattering Nabobs of Negativity are after you

talk about ELITIST :) :rofl:

[Erin Elizabeth]

45. THEY ARE TRYING TO TEAR DOWN OUR DREAMS!

And AMERICA is what DREAMS are ABOUT!

And DREAMS? Are what AMERICA is ABOUT!

That means they are un-American. Pffft.

[Divernan]

66. Oh! Oh! Breathe underwater! That's for me. Oh the scuba diving I'll do!

[Erin Elizabeth]

68. And no equipment required.

Just imagine it and don't LET ANYONE TELL YOU YOU CAN'T DO IT!

I mean, human lungs have to evolve eventually, right? Why not start with yours?

[Divernan]

94. Just like in the Kurt Vonnegut novel, Galapagos.

Human lungs didn't so much evolve as regress back to the time before our ancestors came out of the sea.

[LisaM]

69. I don't even know why I'm asking this, but how is your mocking Hillary

not negative?

I may be negative too, but hello Mrs. Kettle, signed, Pot.

[Erin Elizabeth]

72. Please stop with the negativity. There are people with

DREAMS in this thread. Also? Your negativity is negative.

Dreams...are positive:

[AspenRose]

78. OMG

:spray: :rofl:

[snooper2]

117. I have tears in my eyes from that

thank you :rofl:

[SoCalDem]

25. OMG.. you made me realize something.. Hillie's got a new campaign manager

we all thought it was Maggie Williams, but i think it's

[msallied]

29. bahahahaha!!! n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. In that case,

I'm 10² percent behind you!

[Erin Elizabeth]

28. Hey how'd you do the little thing where the number is higher

thing?

I couldn't figure that out.

(Think that hurts my astronaut chances?)

Thanks!

[SoCalDem]

35. copy this code

& #178; (without the space)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

42. & #178; no space

Html code. It only works in the message section of the post. Follow 10, no space, with the code and voila! 10²

Here's a link: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

[Bucky]

32. I love Texas twang

Of course women always slap me when I call it that. But I love it nonetheless.

[Erin Elizabeth]

47. Texas wang?

[AspenRose]

34. I wanted to be on the high school dance team

I'm currently looking for a middle-aged dance and drill team I can train with to reignite my dream of doing high kicks and splits, in between nursing my 7 month old and taking my 3 year old to the playground. :-)

Oh, and I want a treehouse. Not just ANY treehouse, mind you:

http://www.treehouseworkshop.com/


AND....I want a pony. :-)

[Erin Elizabeth]

49. I want a house made of live butterflies

that never fly away.

(Oh and SHIT, I want that treehouse, too!!!)

[sandnsea]

36. lol, stupendous

You have thought of being Molly though, haven't you? Or Erma. Either way. That is excellent. What is Texas, mum. lolol.

[NorthernSpy]

39. I'm going to be a Time Lord.

I've already got a stripey muffler, and I can make a Doctor Who ringtone. The rest is a bit more involved -- time-traveling phone booth, etc -- but I'm working on it.


As a Time Lord, I can help with other people's dreams by taking them to place and era they need to be. It's tiring and impossible work, but I'm glad to do it. Because I will never stop fighting for you and your dreams. You hardworking people and your dreams are what make America and other galaxies great!

:)

[Erin Elizabeth]

44. This one made me

laugh so hard I snorted and that's probably behavior unbecoming an astronautess so I'll thank you not to be quite so funny in future.

But I'll also thank you, as a Time Lord, for helping other people with their dreams!

[myrna minx]

118. I think there are build your own Tardis kits on Amazon.

But if you believe hard enough, any old cardboard box will take you anywhere/anytime. :hi:

[babylonsister]

43. Erin E,

that was superb! :thumbsup::rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. I want to have babies

And I want you all to call me Loretta.

[Erin Elizabeth]

48. I support you in that.

If you also want to be Eric Idle, I support you in that, as well.

In that one movie, Jon Cusak got to be John Malkovich, so why couldn't you be Eric Idle? Don't let anyonen stomp on your impossible dreams or count you out.

America is depending on you.

[SoCalDem]

52. Get Baaaack, Loretta

:rofl:

[uponit7771]

51. I'm 6' 5" & wanted to be an F14 pilot, doesnt matter Tom Cruise is like 5'2 & can FIT inside cocpit

[undeterred]

53. I want to be royalty. Not a queen, but a princess.

Never mind that there is no actual royalty in America. Never mind that I trip over shoelaces. Never mind that there are no princes for me to marry.

I want to be a princess.

[Erin Elizabeth]

55. And you should have WHATEVER YOU WANT.

Go for it.

[undeterred]

61. And ALL OF YOU should drop what you're doing and help me.

Because I am ENTITLED to be a princess, that's why.

[Erin Elizabeth]

65. See? You're already acting more like a princess!

You really CAN get your way!

[undeterred]

74. Now give me all your money to pay back the $10 million dollars

I spent telling America how wonderful I am!

[Mme. Defarge]

93. Not to mention "ready" n/t

[lutefisk]

56. "the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing . . ."

. . . and you will be an astronaut (or President, I guess).

Great post!

[bobthedrummer]

58. Using her as an example I'd become a NEO NAZI PUNK for the rest of my life and worship evil

:+

:sarcasm:

[Fly by night]

59. My epitaph was to be: "There's one thing worse than a hopeless romantic & that's a hopeful one."

Thanks to your inspiration, it may instead someday read: "The fourth time's a charm."

(On second thought, there are SOME things none of us should wish for.)

[MindMatter]

62. It ain't over until the fat lady pulls the plug on the life support machine

[jeffrey_X]

64. If you can dream it you can achieve it!

I wonder if Hillary is reading "The Secret?"

[Erin Elizabeth]

67. Heeey, I forgot about that book!

You can just ENVISION breathing underwater or becoming a glittery pink pony!

[NC_Nurse]

70. Maybe it's time to get my old band back together...

I mean you're never to old, fat, or untalented to be a ROCK STAR, right? B-)

That was the best, EE! :rofl:

[AspenRose]

71. Hey, John Edwards has dreams and desires, too

http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/videos.jhtml?videoId=166019

[npincus]

73. LOL- I always wanted to be a fly on the wall.

[marions ghost]

75. Although nothing is ever gained without aiming high

there IS such a thing as over-reaching. Lawn Chair Larry, who unintentionally flew 3 miles above the ground in his lawn chair http://www.darwinawards.com/stupid/stupid1998-11.html

As for me, I always wanted to right the unrightable wrongs but haven't made much progress in the last decade-- might have to cut my losses and switch to plan B, raising Alpacas :loveya:


The Impossible Dream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoJUykg5Wyc

this video shows impossible dreams :)

----------
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one (wo)man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his/her last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

[truedelphi]

114. How abt this version

And the world will be better for this
That one alpaca, scorned and covered with scars... ?

I mean even the four leggeds get to dream, right??

[marions ghost]

115. LOL...

To dream the impossible dream of raising Alpacas
To fight the unbeatable foes of Alpacas
To bear with unbearable sorrow the pains of Alpacas
To run with Alpacas where the brave dare not go...*

*Yikes ("To run where the brave dare not go"... :wtf: does this mean? To run where the brave dare not go doesn't seem very sane to me....

If you really analyze the lyrics in this song---well it really is for the zealot who has lost his or her mind... :silly:

[truedelphi]

119. Definitely a zealot oriented song. And my original re-mix of

The song left "scars" on an alpaca - call PETA immediately.

So I'll take
And the world will be better for this
That one (wo)man, scorned and covered with scars


TO become
That one alpaca, SHORN and covered with Mars bars


Though maybe alpacas are like dogs and can't ahve any chocolate??

[marions ghost]

120. Meet Chocolatte

http://www.alpacanation.com/alpacasforsale/03_viewalpaca.asp?name=99153

[SlipperySlope]

76. Just get yourself a cardboard box...

...and draw a spaceship on the side. You can make pretend rocket sounds by blowing through your lips.

Don't let anybody tell you that you aren't an astronaut.

[SoCalDem]

82. AND, people will pay attention to you if

you stand by the Interstate and hold a sign that says

"Cape Canaveral or Bust "


WARNING... if you look like this one, and your pants are a bit "padded", you may want to re-think the plan

[Erin Elizabeth]

83. Hey, that one gives me hope!

If she can be an astronaut, then SO CAN I!!!

[SoCalDem]

88. Just remember to send your emails from an internet cafe

and wear a disguise (cameras there?)

[Erin Elizabeth]

89. We are writing this down for our future reference.

[Erin Elizabeth]

85. They might up my meds if I do that.

:scared:

Then I'd be too sleepy all the time to do my vital astronauting!

[Dr Fate]

80. Me too. I think I'll be a fireman or a cowboy. n/t

n/t

[lutefisk]

98. You'll need a name change. "Dr. Fate" is just not a good fireman name.

Might be a good gunslinger cowboy name, though.

[truedelphi]

113. What if was just "Hottie" Fate when riding the red trucks with ladders??

Or maybe Dr Flame Fate??

[hfojvt]

81. reminds me of Lucy when Charlie Brown told her she couldn't be Queen

She threw a fit.

Being Queen is probably tough, but it depends on your kingdom. I do have an opening for a woman to be "queen of my double wide trailer. With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck."

In fact, you could run unopposed if you wanted to.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncGZWQGkNzc

[Erin Elizabeth]

84. Hmmm, tempting.

Could we always refer to ourselves in the third person? (We're practicing now.)

Would there be some sort of trumpet fanfare when we arose in the morning to feed the royal cats?

[hfojvt]

90. it just so happens

that we own a trumpet :o

but currently have a couple of royal dogs.

[Divernan]

95. Ya gotta practise that wave from the carriage - the Queen's wave.

Whenever I am lucky enough to see a Queen angel fish when I'm diving - and I did, just last month in the Caribbean, I signal the other divers with the queen's wave. Of course the shark thingie signal gets more of a response - that's where you have your four fingers straightened and held atop your head - makes the other divers really twist and jerk and spin around 360 degrees.

[Erin Elizabeth]

100. I bet it does!

[AtomicKitten]

86. I'd totally vote for you to be Elizabeth I.

:D

[Erin Elizabeth]

87. We give you our thanks, most humble subject.

Where is our lady-in-waiting? Our royal bunions need filing.

[Divernan]

96. Elizabeth I is already taken, but you can be Her Serene Highness, Erin Elizabeth the First!

[dchill]

92. You are going to be so embarrassed...

when you wake up in the space shuttle wearing a crown!

[hokies4ever]

97. Not to discourage you, but

you should check on the requirements for being an astronaut. I think they have very strict requirements on uncorrected vision. This is also the case for the military. However, all hope is not lost. I would think that one could make the argument that the new laser eye surgery might give you vision that may not be considered corrected vision. Government agencies are often slow to change though.

On the other hand, there are plenty of other things to do to help the exploration of space without actually flying into outer space. That might yield a more fruitful result for you. It's almost more fun to learn about outer space than it is to research it, in my opinion.

[Erin Elizabeth]

99. LASIK!!!!

[ShortnFiery]

101. OUTSTANDING!

Erin Elizabeth :yourock:

[HughMoran]

102. "bugfuck insane!"

Yes, we need more of this here.

Who's really the dick-wad?

[SoxFan]

103. So, I can have Kevin Youkilis' job?

Sweet!

[Th1onein]

105. I'm gonna be Wonder Woman!

With all her magical powers and everything. Now, let me see if I can find that invisible jet!

Woo hoo!

[Teaser]

106. Angelina Jolie, get ready to trade up....

.

[redsoxrudy]

107. you have inspired me.

I think even though i don't have a mechanical bone in my body(i have trouble getting the lawn mower working) I will become the greatest mad scientist of all time. I am going to go out to my garage and finally build that time machine. I will then ensure that eight incredibly fucked up years of Bush-Cheney never happen. First I will somehow tell Al Gore "even though everyone loves your choice of Joe Lieberman as VP trust me when I tell you that guy is gonna go batshit crazy in a few years." I then convince him that the right choice for VP is a freshman Illinois state senator that no has ever heard of, thus ensuring that Obama will actually be elected president in 2008 (as not to completely screw up the space-time continuum.) My next job will be to wait until the eve of Ralph Nader announcing his candidacy for president and then duct tape his mouth and throw in the trunk of a '75 Ford Pinto (only fitting) then just keep driving around on a road trip that lasts until the day after the election of the Gore/Obama ticket. If I'm gonna dream it might as well be big!!!

[girl gone mad]

108. I'm going to run right out and buy you some adult diapers...

and a six pack.

That'll get you halfway there.

[Patsy Stone]

109. I'm the next Queen of England

I like hats, and I'm not afraid to wear pastels. Sure, I'm a Jew, but so what.

[dailykoff]

111. I am fighting for YOU

to go to the moon! On to Puerto Rico and victory!

:headbang:

[truedelphi]

112. I plan on Becoming Keith Olbermann

Granted he's a man, and I'm not.

And granted too that he can be eloquent at least three nights a week, and I would probably only make eloquence rule one night, but as I am inspired by the supermodels, astronauts, ball players and others on this board I am going to do everything that I can to attain this dream.

It might involve a hiring of a certain group of ruffians and blackguards to <ahem> delay Mr Olbermann on his way into the studio, but certainly no one who notices that a housewife in her mid fifties has taken over his spot will mind once they realize my determination.

It's my dream! My aspiration!

I also think it is realistic. It's not like I am seeking to attain the stature of a Rachel Maddow (who makes the O man look a little ordinary.)

[snooper2]

116. Fuck it, I'm going to the convention in Denver to be PRESIDENT!

Might as well set your sights as high as the moon :)


I bet I can convince pledged AND supers to go for me...Just need a new jacket and a couple supporters with fancy signs!

[oxbow]

121. I think I can become a superhero

My hero was Spiderman when I was growing up. All I need is that one big break. To get struck by lightning or fall in toxic waste or just get lucky some other way...and until someone gets dead or electrocuted or something super bad happens, I'll grab on to that dream like a rottweiler to his bone! Some people are saying it can't be done and that I should just stop and get a real job, but dammit this is AMERICA! We raise people to fight for what they beleive here!


thanks hillary!
