My hair seems to know when I’m scheduled for a haircut – it looks
bedraggled for weeks, and then the day of the scheduled cut, it looks fabulous.
Today is no exception. Why, hair? Why look so beautiful just so I think, “Aw,
maybe I shouldn’t get it cut yet”? Is it actually sentient?
Did any of my readers watch the Republican debate last
night? It was so entertaining! Trump was as nuts as ever, but some of the other
candidates said things that made a lot of sense. I have no idea who I’d
actually vote for in the presidential election at this point, but fortunately
there is plenty of time to make a decision. One thing I’ve noticed is that
people say a candidate is “pandering to the base” when he (or she!) says
something very conservative, but they don’t seem to say that about liberal
candidates. Wouldn’t a Democratic presidential candidate saying something very
liberal be pandering to the base as well? Maybe the pundits will say that after
the first Democratic debate – something to watch for, anyway. I did enjoy when
the candidates went after each other but really respected the ones who refused
to make ad hominem attacks, like
Carson and Kasich. And a few of the candidates actually mentioned poor people,
which is good to hear from Republicans. Some of them, like Jeb Bush, seem to
forget that poor people exist… and they vote. They all agreed on several
issues, but Rand Paul had the most different outlook, since he is libertarian
rather than a pure conservative. I love hearing what they all think about the
issues, and what they would do about the most pressing problems of our times,
although Trump is a little short on solutions and mostly talks about how great
he is. This is going to be a very interesting political season!
