Mainstream Media: The Anti-Hope

Hillary's Secret Good Judgment

Hillary’s got plenty of judgment. A whole heap of it, in fact. She’s got judgment all over the place. In drawers, in cabinets, under pillows, on shelves, in the attic, and a six foot tall pile of it in the basement. She has more judgment than you can shake a stick at. The question is: what’s she saving the good stuff for? Is she expecting a party (the democratic party maybe? Or even that other one?) to descend upon her house unexpectedly, demanding the good judgment she’s been saving for some special future date?

Go ahead, Hill, crack the seal on that stuff, no, not those votes to give authorization to Bush, to prevent the banning of landmines and cluster bombs, to support the anti-consumer bankruptcy bill, to criminalize flag-burning stuff, that's the shitty judgment you give to the saps who don't know any better, you know, the ones who'll be happy to know you have any judgment at all. We're looking for the judgment you rarely use because it costs too much. We want the GOOD stuff.

Whip it out! Surely, you can find it underneath all of the bad judgment, yes? Let me help you. No, that’s okay. It’s no problem, really. Is it over here behind the tax returns you won’t release? Nope. Not there.

What about on top of this pile of money Rupert Murdoch and the insurance and pharmaceutical industries raised for you? It’s really tall, do you have a ladder? Oh. Not up there, either. Darn.

Ooh, I know! It’s probably in your closet, in the pantsuit you were wearing back when you were having secret meetings on your catastrophic failure of a healthcare plan and supporting NAFTA. Oh. Well, even if the suit of a much less cynical and divisive person doesn’t fit you now, you could have given it to a thrift shop or something, you didn’t need to burn it. Surely, someone could have worn it while campaigning for their husband, the presidential candidate who implores people to choose hope over fear. Hey, didn’t Bill do that?

What’s in this drawer? Oh, it’s that pledge you made not to give Fox any more credibility as a News outlet by agreeing to appear on their debate…you remember, the one John Edwards and Barack Obama and the other candidates pressured you into agreeing to. Oh, I can just tear this up? Cool.

There are a bunch of checks from Wal-Mart here too, but they’re from before you ran for Senator, can I chuck these too? You really only need to keep stuff like this for five years for tax purposes and stuff. Oh, right. The library might want them. I’ll just put them back in the folder marked “corporate blood money.” Or do they go over here in “Stuff that looks like money from lobbyists but is really just like being tipped for a job well done?”

Do you still want this note from Marion Wright-Edelman, chair of the Children’s Defense Fund, you know, the woman you call your mentor in the children helping business? It’s the interview from 2007 where Marion Wright-Edelman says “Hillary Clinton is an old friend, but they are not friends in politics.” And calls the draconian Welfare reform bill your husband and, one supposes, you, supported, “an abomination?”

Oh! Here it is! I found the good judgment! Hold on, hold on. Oh…it’s mostly empty and…oh…let me just take a swig of this delightful, vintage good judgement you've been trying to hide from us all these years, you naughty politician, you...gag…Ugh. Oh, that's awful. It seems to have turned to vinegar. Damn. Well, okay. We’re not picky. Do you have any salad?

Bed, head

Strindberg helium

I love Strindberg and Helium and I don't care who knows it.

Go there.
Watch it.
Even if you've seen it already.

It frightens and amuses me how much these cartoons reflect the discussions inside my head.
I am Strindberg.
I am Helium.
Who are you?
Are you Strindberg and Helium, too?
Then there's a pair of us, don't tell!
They'll medicate us all to hell.
